It's not my problem you don't understand the concept of the "ruling class".

Owning vast capital (and land is capital) does give a degree of undemocratic power over government policy.

But go ahead and keep letting billionaires buy up everything until we live in a feudalist society. I'm sure nothing will go wrong.

I'm more worried about billionaires who have literal armies like Erik Prince.
