If you ever notice cowardice on the part of rich people, who supposedly have so much wealth and power, remember they depend on The System. It's a balancing act, not some inherent trait they have.
And they don't want to shake up the balancing act of contact, money, position, privilege, connections, politics, debts, etc.
@peeppeepcircus and they, for all their supposed power, don't want to risk it.
@StevenSavage many don’t know how to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps either, they’re terrified.
