Sounds exactly like a cult to me.

Even the richest and most famous among us were drawn to the energy of this impossible wealth.

Well, I suppose to even be invited you're already a certain type of person, but he's just a man, nothing more. We're all just people, it doesn't matter if he's worth 1,000 times what he's worth now he's still just a normal man. This kind of wealth worshiping bullshit has to stop. They don't have any more power than you give them.

It's a massive failure of humanity to allow people to accumulate such wealth and power, those people are not more intelligent or deserving or anything, any more so than the lowliest soul on Earth.
