If you were rich you would feel the opposite. You’d feel that you don’t/won’t need social security so you shouldn’t have to pay for a service you won’t use.
I’m not sure about the rich, but most people don’t like being surrounded by homeless and starving people. They also don’t like seeing their extended family homeless and starving after working their whole lives.
They also absolutely do not want to pay for social services that would minimize/mitigate those people being seen. Even when the overall cost would be cheaper in the long run…
I’m not rich to the point of no longer needing to labor, but I did hit the social security cap one year. I was pissed when I learned why my take home jumped up. I would have rather kept paying.
It’s selfish to want to keep a little more of your vast wealth like you describe. That’s cartoon villainy.
rich people don’t think they have any power. they think they are ‘worse off’ than middle and lower classes because everyone is trying to steal their money.

And those special snowflakes should be told: with great power, comes great responsibility.
