Rich people are, as for now, a force of subversion. The capitalist system itself makes necessary for them being subversive, because the state exist both in order to protect and to limitate them. They always try to get rid of limitations - which means uncontrolled immigration, atomism, consumerism and so on. On the other side this system can't sustain forever in that form. It will be either some kind of socialism, with the state as ultimate master of economy, or the end of the modern state. If in the future they will start to talk about privatising parts of the army, you will know for sure that the modern state won't survive. At the point, maybe a new feudalism will fix the morality of the rich people.

Personally, I am assuming that the class problem will be actively resolved with some political solution, but I am not entirely sure what that political solution will look like. There are a number of options, such as mass nationalisation, the establishment of some kind of corporatism, the subjection of capital to authority as in the Chinese and Russian models, or something else entirely. Perhaps even a mix of several such options. The issue is figuring out what works best.
