Even if you already know that website, it's worth a click. It seems to me they have updated the story as well.

Seriously, without any conspiracy bullshit - why do governments allow "super rich" to exist? Who benefits? Cui bono?

Because the super rich buy the politicians who write the laws.

followthemoney.org allows those living in the US to track who is funding their legislators, committees, and individual pieces of legislation. Just in case you want to verify this claim for yourself.
