These sound like words from someone who wants democracy brought to them.

To use America as an example: The Ultra Rich fear the IRS, that is why they promote people like Donald Trump in a bid to dismantle it. We created the IRS and we have a responsibility for future generations to empower and protect it, to harm people like the Ultra Rich, to harm Trump.

Prime example Finnland. Highest tax rate on the rich in the world and also ranks as the happiest nation on earth regularly.

Lesser example is that the USA, while failing, is still in a much better position than Russia which has been solely countrolled by a plutocratic oligarchy for decades.

Clearly there is a spectrum for how much or how little people control policy and wealth. There is a a battle going on between the rich and the governments built by the people.
