There are many such cases under capitalism, which this meme is meant to be satirizing
Well post 1893, sure.
But even today, until we had a new class of mega-rich, let's call them Billionaires - the nuevo-riche were always quick to be thrown under the bus by old money.
Now the power dynamic has shifted, but the billies will still, and do, chuck millionaire cronies to the crowds if it means avoiding responsibility and comeuppance.
