That's an interesting thought. But there are many examples in history where one group of rich people profited while others suffered -- it's not like they're all one cohesive group. Like in this article, any rich person who had an interest in and ability to make money off of fats, lost tons of money because the rich people who controlled sugar wanted to get richer instead. Just because science is being corrupted for money and power, doesn't mean that it will benefit every rich person and hurt none of them.
