I don't agree with majority of your statements. The wealthy people doesn't get richer just because of politics and power. Although yes, it plays a part since connection with different people is involved. However, the rich aren't always involved in politics. In fact, most of them avoid it as much as they can because they know what kind of world it is - chaotic.

The rich people gets richer because of hardwork. Majority of the rich people I know came from nothing. What paved way from them achieving the status they have right now is perseverance and determination. They used their money in investing instead of spending over luxuries things that are just liabilities. Although there are really some rich people (billionaires) that hoard money and were able to acquire such great amount because of unjust treatments, labor malpractices, and giving below the liveable wage value.

It just really depends on who are we talking about. The rich that acquired their wealth by hardwork and perseverance, or the rich that acquired their wealth using evil deeds like stepping onto someone's rigbht.
