You just rediscovered something that Marxists had concluded long ago: class wealth is a product of political control, not the other way around. If a class of people takes control of government, they can rewrite laws and the economic system to favor them, instead of the previous ruling class. That's the whole basis of the so-called "dictatorship of the proletariat".
