Because apparently the idea of very rich people getting everything for free, basically, doesn’t bother those who have been taught to identify with wealth above them rather than be empathetic to poverty around. Also, power + wealth + white supremacy = sociopathic responses and support for predatory organizations and groups rather than those they prey on.
