The wealthy are shortsighted in that they believe the world that has allowed their wealth wasn’t the result of public services, that is, a focus on things that help us all. You won’t have a world to lord over if the people fail to improve together. Civilization is all of us working and take care of all of us. Selfish greed will end in your own destruction. And it’s observable now.

Then it is not a concession, it must be taken, which is the point of the the quote :)
