I don't think it's quite that Captain Planet.

The ruling elite in the US are all several generations down the line of nepotism. None of them have ever had to experience consequences, nor learn a lesson, they are just stupid rich people who think they're rich on their own merits.

There are a few very rich very evil people who are playing them like puppets though and they're too stupid to notice.

Oh, wait that is pretty Captain Planet.

I noticed nothing you said contradicts my assertion that they actively want people dead. Nothing about being rich means you need to go out of your way to mass murder. I don't even see how they could profit from this decision

Technically correct! The best kind of correct.
