> This idea that the obscenely wealthy are going to come in and save us from ourselves, if only we can let them be in charge, is a tale as old as time, yet people keep believing it.
This sentence implies that we are being duped and should not let such people be in charge.
I’m wondering what GP would have us do instead. It’s unhelpful to make an observation about what someone should not do if it’s not obvious what would be better to do.
