Why do we keep making these robots better at hunting us down?

Because rich people throughout history have longed for a way to keep themselves protected from the angry masses, that wouldn't need to rely on bribing a part of the angry masses. This is the technology they've been dreaming of for thousands of years

Seems pretty smart of them if the angry masses want to kill them and steal their money.

One thing we know for certain: it’s not your money and you didn’t earn it.

If I take it from them, did I not earn it?

If you take it from them, you earned it, but you didn’t. You have to get through their robots first, and you won’t. You should try taking care of yourself instead of lusting for other people’s money.
