Are there enough of these people for it to matter? Let’s say instead of there being 5000 of these “nepo babies” (whose parents and environment of course never taught them anything so that they’re useless members of society in charge of massive fortunes because of chance alone because that just suits your world view best) there were now 50000. What policy changes might they now implement that would shake the foundations of our society?


To be clear, I said nothing even close to what's in your parens.

Off the top of my head: decades long precedence on regulatory agencies' authority, abortion rights, and Presidential immunity have all undergone dramatic reshaping in the last few years in large part driven by only one ultrawealthy person (Leonard Leo, born to wealth).

Your question is silly.
