There's a knife in a knife rack in my kitchen. By your logic I should be jailed for stabbing someone, since I clearly have the ability to do it.
For the sake of argument, let's accept your premise - that in America, the government is subverted by well-funded lobbyists and cash contributions to politicians. Instead of getting angry at the top 1% of taxpayers, some of whom have nothing to do with this subversion, why don't you focus your anger a little more, and restrict it to the people who actually back the lobbyists and contribute the cash?
I'm a little uncomfortable being on the receiving end of such anger, just because my startup did alright. I'm sure there's plenty of others in that top 1% of taxpayers who similarly have nothing to do with what you're actually angry at.
The fact that you chose not to spend your money and use your connections for political gain doesn't make your ability to do so any less noteworthy.
