> Wealth is pretty much self-perpetuating

No it isn't, it just gives you an advantage. The idea that money makes money implicitly makes the assumption that you're investing in modern technology that drives growth. You won't keep that wealth if you don't invest in technology that enriches your competitors.

Competitors, who are part of the rich group, not the poor group.

Technology enriches any group that uses it, it doesn't only enrich already-rich groups.
