My brother in christ, both parties have been doing this for ages. You aren't looking at the right lines. This one is about wealth, not about party affiliation.

If you had the money to put safeguards in place to protect you and your stuff in the event something went wrong, you probably would. It would be a mistake not to.

A simple example is keeping some money set aside as a savings or emergency fund. For rich people, lobbying for more favorable laws, and helping more friendly judges rise up the ranks is a similar thing. Some have went on to make and plan apocalypse bunkers too.

When you have enough money that you don't have to worry about spending a certain amount, you just go and do it. Like people not worrying about spending on Starbucks every morning because it's equivalent to 30 minutes of their time or less.
