The grotesque inequality between the haves and the have-nots is seldom framed as a problem that the haves might privately help to resolve. Instead, it is a problem the have-nots must persuade their elected officials to do something about, presumably against the wishes of the haves.

    One percent of the population controls a third of its wealth, and the problem is only getting worse

    rich people, when they seek to influence political outcomes, often are wasting their money

These statements seem contradictory.
