You could also say that people choose a system that creates an environment for them to thrive and attracts more people who then also thrive. In other words the government doesn’t need to be the enemy, and that system, natural resources, and their industriousness combine to create wealth.

However, I agree that they should invest back into the system that created the conditions for their success, and everyone should be suspicious of people who claim their success was entirely self-made right before they attempt to destroy institutions.
