Perhaps they don't care to "contribute" more to society since society is serving someone else (wealthy elites) rather than them and so they do their job, collect a check, and then go home to contribute to the only thing they feel is theirs: their personal lives and their families. You're assuming the moral validity of feeling the need to contribute to a society simply because it is there.
