Many, perhaps most, rich people are psychopaths, focused only on getting yet more money. They would kill you for that money even though they are already rich.
Democracy is in the way of getting more money, so they subvert democracy with electoral fraud, as in 2020.
Laws are in the way of getting more money, so they make sure that it is they themselves who are writing the laws, via lobbyists:
Government agencies are in the way of getting more money, so they corrupt those agencies with offers of high paying jobs at Pfizer, etc, for making the most profitable decisions instead of those which benefit the public.
Honest journalists would be in the way of getting more money, so they buy the media and drown out truth with lies.
Suspicion of the rich is in the way of getting more money, so people like Sam Bankman-Fried make a big virtue signaling show out of "effective altruism".
A shared national history, principles, and ancestry give a people unity which makes them recognize and reject corruption, so the psychopaths promote "diversity" exactly in order to undermine the threat to their corruption. Various people from all over the world have no shared anything, and don't care about American history or principles. They don't see America as their own country. So corruption flourishes.
The psychopaths who do this get more wealth and power. Those who don't tend not to get as rich. The ones with more wealth and power use it to ratchet up the corruption further.
It's analogous to natural selection for a disease. The disease spreads when immune systems (democracy, media, unity) are weak.
