No. Accepting the paranoia makes it easier. They know that a lot of really, really terrible stuff was done so now they use the paranoid reasons for the invasion as their cover. As for the wealthy part of your question, for 30 years I have scratched and asked why. The biggest reason I can give is that the government doesn't want them to have too much freedom. It always keeps a controlling mechanism over them even when they "own" a business. It called the tax authorities.
