Which is exactly why conservatives want to push that line of ideology, because in a democratic society we all have equal say, but under capitalism the landowning aristocrat class become de facto lords and kings. Which is exactly what we are seeing happening right now.
It’s the same bullshit they say about wanting “small government"- no, they want no government, not a democratic one at least, because that is the only thing keeping them from wielding their capital as a political tool, something it is already feebly equipped to do because of the power inherent in capital and unregulated ownership. Low taxes- same thing; high taxes are an equalizer that aims to create benefit for all of society together, low taxes, as conservatives always want, mean proportionally more for those who are already most well off.
On a long enough timeline, capitalism will always and causally turn into a form of feudalism. Shit, it IS feudalism, with extra steps.

Happening? don’t you mean happened? Most top politicans come from the same familys and schools and have done for significantly longer than I’ve been alive.

We are feeling the brute force of what you are saying right now on a scale previously not seen. Of course this has been a generational play, that lies at the core of feudalism and patriarchal rule- inheritance of wealth.
