Because all his "stuff" owns him, instead of the other way 'round. Over the years, Rush has likely made investments with other people, who might not have the same political views. Also, when you become wealthy, your perspective changes. Protecting your wealth becomes more important, and that requires a different mindset.

Along those same lines, once these guys get rich, they convince themselves that their personal interests haven't changed a wit - that those interests still match those of the general public. They rationalize that they are still speaking for the little guy when nothing could be further from the truth. Rush admits his hobnobbing ego boosting associations with the rich and famous crowd. Yet, he would want us to believe it doesn't negatively affect his views in the slightest. Levin also will not acknowledge his obvious conflicts of interests, arrogantly maintaining that his personal life has nothing to do with his “fair and balanced” radio message. These are guys who smack us and common sense in the face and want us to believe them. Unfortunately for them, we were not born yesterday and we are no ones patsy.
