Americans have historically been obsequiously subservient to the big man.

From Washington to Rockefeller to Bill Gates or Elon Musk, if you're the richest man in the country people will practically worship you as a demigod rather than revolt at your presence.

Everyone should know the real Mammon. I will accept one substitute.
