There seems to be this under-current in their thought processes - whether they understand it themselves, that: "People who have money must deserve to have money, and rules about MAKING money are meant to protect the right to keep making money...and the right to manipulate the rules."

I am aware that no one would admit to that phrasing, but that's the way many of them act. Add to that the idea that 'money' somehow determines 'class status'. and you get a set of principles that affect political ideals.
