"The greatest trick the rich have ever pulled of in the US is convincing poor people it's their own fault they're poor" Slaughterhouse 5, Kurt Vonnegut
I'll add that the rich also pull off the trick of convincing the poor that it's not the fault of the rich when the rich fail. How slick is that? "It's your own fault you're poor, but when I make bad choices and become poor it's not my fault and you need to bail me out" This occurs by nothing more than having the good luck to be born into a rich family or the bad luck to be born into a poor family since economic mobility in the USA is at an all-time low.
Well, a lot of celebrities as well as honest, hard-working Americans lost millions or their savings due to putting money into what was assumed to be a solid, reliable stocks and investment Wall St. firm run by Bernie Madoff, who until December 2008, had a unimpeachable reputation among colleagues, and co-workers but very few knew his deadly, evil secret: it was the largest, costliest most elaborate Ponzi scheme ever and none of Madoff's clients, certainly not his celebrity investors(which included a Holocaust survivor and Nazi hunter) were aware they were losing everything. Often, there are many people/families who lose large amounts of money owing to events or crises they didnt cause: J. Paul Getty III's 1973 kidnapping, arguably Patty Hearst's kidnapping and alleged brain-washing by a radical, far-left underground political group, etc.
Sometimes, very rich people lost their fortunes or millions because they put their faith, temporarily, in the wrong people who seem to have good credentials or are competent in their skill set but fail or can't prevent a catastrophe from occuring because they lose control of all the variables involved in investments or there's too many unknown variables facing him he can't manage.
This isn't just some black-and-white class conflict/consciousness struggle narrative writers from Kurt Vonnegut's generation liked to conveniently boil it down to, life and the world we live have always been more complex, nuanced, and difficult to comprehend.
