Since most governments are filled with people who have way more money than they can spend in a lifetime probably never.
I will never understand why people who live in poverty or barely get by look at some rich CEO/billionaire whatever moneybags person go "yeah this person will probably understand my hardships and make it right, let's make him governor or president".
A lot of politicians are completely out of touch and as long as they're doing well everyone must be doing well (or they simply don't care).
