This is, of course, entirely predictable. When there were Kings, there were courtiers. Now we have lobbyists who are in close proximity to the money and the power. Politicians are cleverer than we give them credit for. They spend so much time talking about the “rich” and the measures necessary for preventing an aristocracy that no one notices that they, and those they partner in crony capitalism with, ARE the new aristocracy.
If you don’t like that, then shrink the money and shrink the power. Otherwise, smile and live with it.
