I think there's some kind of general fascination with rich people ingrained naturally in the human mind. It's not just in comics. It's present in many fairy tales, mythology, religious books..

Iagree it can help the rich to get away with things. But I also think it's not fair to blame authors for using good old archetypes, while I also support kindhearted critique of those archetypes - it's important to understand their role in social context and to make authors aware of the downsides.
