I see no distinction between the government and the rich. Government is the result of too much power concentrated into the hands of the rich. It's the few ruling over the many. The ruling class is both government and the rich. Don't let left-vs-right bullshit rhetoric distract and confuse.

Disproportionate amount of wealth in the hands of these elite is a clear signal that government is privileging this group of people.
In a pure free-market system no one will be absolutely equal in wealth but these disparities which we have today will be hard to occur
It's a chicken and the egg problem. I believe that concentrated economic power has a snowball effect when the rich start making rules. The end result is governments.
