There always are top dogs in the most socialist of socialist societies. The Namenclatura in Soviet Russia all lived like multi-millionaires, and probably had plenty more stashed safely abroad “just in case.”
In the U.S., their policies when in office don’t necessarily create wealth for the public. They may believe in high taxes on public citizens; they may want to redistribute wealth of others. Whatever it is they seek, they manage to make lots of money for themselves in some way.
Perhaps they do consulting and advising, or have some political connection even when they have no apparent left-leaning political connection.
Look about and see how this is true in this country among those who carry on battles for the “little guy,” while flying about in their private jets, and living in their many grandiose homes both here and abroad.
Their stand for the poor never means they have taken vows for personal poverty. In fact, they have managed to become billionaires while in pursuit of their leftward careers.
