You're trying to understand the logic behind motivated reasoning.

More like an oligarch class makes a fertile ground for hate. They weaken the people and institutions that look to build people up, while grow those that siphon away opportunity, the earnings of the middle class, and finally hope.

Why would they want to "fix" it?
