The wealth worship is progressing. It’s a secular prosperity gospel. “Since we know for a fact that capitalism rewards the most capable individuals with success it therefore follows the wealthiest are our most capable individuals. Being the most capable means being the smartest, strongest, the healthiest. So clearly they have the best genes. The wealthy are an innately superior group, selected by nature to be a superior class of individual to lead us all. Let us cleanse the word of the inferior poors.”
