How many of "these people" does the OP or anyone else here personally know?
ETA: This is not a rhetorical question. If there is anyone here who does move in such circles, I would be interested in their perspective.
I don't know them, but I've seen them on tv.

I don't personally know any of them. But does that matter? I'm not claiming to be >95% sure or anything like that, and so I don't see why I'd need such strong evidence as personally knowing "these people".
Do you have any evidence at all for your psychologising?
Doing some fnord-extraction on the OP:
"... fantastic post ... these moneybag guys .. here's how I see ... probably makes my opinions pretty clear ... I doubt that ... I'm sure ... It could be the case that ... but I doubt it ... the most important things ... There seems to be ... I'm sure they feel ... Or maybe not ... But if ... I understand that there's probably ... I'm sure that ... I'm sure that ... I'm sure that ... might be ... don't seem to be ... A big reason ... this impression ... seems to apply ... get the impression ..."
This sort of writing, wherever I see it, gives me "the impression" that the writer is putting in the dubifiers to excuse themselves from presenting any evidence.
