As a child you would scream if your toys were taken away. As adults we scream at the mere suggestion of something being taken away. It doesn't matter how rich you are. Some things never change.
This is why we get stuck in ridiculous local optima and just can't get out. Individuals, including those in government, might be able to see better long term solutions, but getting there often involves convincing people to lose something. Nobody seems to be willing or able to explain their long term strategy. Or perhaps nobody is willing to listen.
Start by being better than the people you hate. Campaign for strategies that involve short-term personal loss to get to better places.
