I agree with you in the realm of reality. But I think thats why they tried to bring the idea that "some people just want to watch the world burn" to the forefront with Joker. If he wanted to redistribute the wealth to have a better society he wouldn't burn it all, or he'd use it to counter anti social program rhetoric or something. Try to make some kind of change, but he doesn't want change, he wants the wealth gap. The bigger the gap, the more desperate the people who he can manipulate into causing more crime and chaos.

Some people just want to watch the world burn is good cause not to deal with such people. The mafia / crime syndicate in an effort to get to Batman hired Joker as a Guy of Gisborne to Batman's Robin Hood, only they got more than they bargained for.

Considering our billionaires hired Trump to keep their taxes low and are now dealing with a tanking economy, this seems to be the kind of play that tracks IRL. Especially since now Trump is lame duck and Miller, Vought and Thiel/Vance (Mandate, Marbro Man and Lifepod might be their villain names) are now vying for power while Trump is still alive.

Heck, this would make a great comic book.
