I don't see that the rich rule anything to begin with.
Jeff Skilling was extremely wealthy, and had control over one of the largest energy companies in the world. He went to prison.
Lehman Brothers, and Bear Stearns were, between the two of them, companies that had been around for almost 200 years. Two of the most wealthy group of bankers on Wall St. Neither exist anymore, and all those executives have a tiny fraction of the wealthy they formerly had. Contrary to popular opinion, no one was 'bailed out".
And then you look at the credit card companies that opposed the Card Act, and it happened anyway. The insurance companies that opposed Obama Care, and it happened anyway. The banks that opposed Dodd Frank, and it happened anyway.
On and on..... where do you see these rich people "ruling" anything? It's not happening.

Parasite, implies that you are giving nothing, to get something.
If you are spending your rightfully earned money, to invest in something that produces goods and services, how is that being a parasite?
A parasite would be like Elon Musk, getting money from the government for green-energy grants that produce absolutely nothing for the the majority of the population. That's being a parasite.
A parasite would be Solyndra collecting millions from the government under Obama, and then just disappearing.
But if you are spending your hard earned cash, to make a risky but prudent investment, and having that investment pay off.... why is that being a parasite?
And along those lines, your ending question makes no sense. Investors are the owners, because they are investors. That's why they are the owners, because they invested.
Most employees today, are also investors. I am investor myself. I own shares in about two dozen companies. Now where I currently work, I don't have stock in that company, because I don't think it's a wise investment, but other companies I've worked for, I did have stock in.

Because, unless your risky investment is made in an IPO it is speculation that contributes nothing to the corporation behind the stock. It's like buying a new car vs buying a used car. In the former case, your money goes to the corporation that produced the vehicle; in the latter your money goes to another consumer.
Actually, your retirement on SSA comes AFTER your decades of productive labor has helped those who've come before you live a dignified retirement instead of dying in the streets when they are no longer capable of working.
