Yeah, but your comment comes off as "be happy with what you get." Having grattitude is a path to being content with the situation.

But you are ignoring the horrible inequality, the deprevation and lack of resources at the bottom. You are ignoring the pay for play politics, the influence the ultra rich buy at the cost of ordinary tax payers. Your argument reflects the recursive idea that because one has more money they deserve for rights to representation. This ends with up with a poor quality of life for people who should have a fair shot at the American dream.
