Americans have historically been obsequiously subservient to the big man.

From Washington to Rockefeller to Bill Gates or Elon Musk, if you're the richest man in the country people will practically worship you as a demigod rather than revolt at your presence.

This is overall distribution by percentage, so aggregate total represented wouldn’t have an impact. If it were to have an impact, I think we’d have hoped it would mean the slope was more even.
