Politics is tricky because non wealthy very much support the wealthy politically. Agree or disagree it’s just reality in modern politics.
As for why we shouldn’t actually care abstractly there simply aren’t that many ultra wealthy. Any subsidies given to them just cost an incredible amount relative to the number of people helped etc. They also don’t directly matter in terms of broad metrics like human health, lifespan, happiness etc.
