Wealth is relative.

And the Heritage Foundation is not in the business of improving quality of life for everyone, or even the average American.

It's not the optimal course for most billionaires either. Maybe it is for a few of them.

I mean ”optimal” is not well defined. It is not great for the economy or societal stability and if wealth is more and more unevenly distributed. But the wealthy benefit in the short term by gaining power in society.

Ok, "optimal" may be the wrong word.

Most billionaires will lose both money and power on the timeframe of a couple of years due to the destruction of the value of the dollar. Even internally to the US.

Some may gain both. Someone will probably gain both, and the odds are good some billionaires are included.
