It's easy to imagine the rich and powerful as this group of evil villains sitting in a dark boardroom somewhere and plotting sinisterly, but the reality is that they are just people, and people want to think that they are good guys, doing the right thing. People are also really good at justifying their own actions, and convincing themselves that they are doing things for moral reasons, and not for personal benefit.
