I very much agree.
EDIT: Sorry, I don't agree with the mentality, but I agree that that's the reason.

In what capacity does a billionaire deserve more as an individual than the entire work force that operates his business? In what way is it reasonable for landlords to intentionally refuse to rent out properties in order to increase the amount they can charge citing an artificial scarcity? In what way does an individual deserve more money than entire nations? The hording of wealth by billionaires does not even stimulate the economy. Billionaires do not live within society yet they extract not just the surplus wealth from their employees (read: society) but they also extract money entitled the employee as per the premise of a fair and reasonable wage. And they would rather spend millions opposing meaningful changes that would cost them nominally less.

Hell, there was that recent article about Texas prisons spending millions fighting so they wouldn't have to install a cooling system that would have cost only a hundreds of thousands to install.

Basically? The rich are an absolute drain upon society.

He's the one who came up with the ideas. Make up your own ideas. Be creative.

Maybe because prisoners don't deserve luxuries? It's not always solely about cost.

That's a stupid waste of taxes. Just go the cheaper route.

Considering the locations and decades of records indicating deaths related to the heat have been on the rise in recent years (around the time prisons started becoming widely privatized), it was determined by the state itself that the prisons had an obligation to legally provide air conditioning so as to prevent unnecessary deaths.

It isn't a luxury, it's a requirement.

And rather than spend a few hundred thousand, they spent millions battling it. All on the taxpayer's money. And prisoners continued to die from the summer heat. And in the end? They still will have to install the sir conditioning. Also on the taxpayer's money. And of course they won't actually face any penalties for the prisoners who deaths could have been prevented. And lastly, the dead? They will always be dead. Fixing things that should have been handled beforehand does nothing to change that.

Maybe the rich should actually pay their taxes and we shouldn't commit a majority of our budget to the military.

It's not about people having money being inherently wrong. It's that while it's possible to make millions through hard work, making billions requires exploitation of workers on a massive scale. Wealth obtained through such unethical means is illegitimate, and should be seized and returned to the workers that rightfully own it.
