Hi Long Ways 
It gets to me too sometimes, but you can't carry the world on your shoulders. I'm irritated by the rich and famous in this world too, but they have their share of sadness and grief. Golden trophies in life don't really provide much comfort or warmth, and you can't expect to thrive by consuming cash. A superficial life isn't really life.
If you're living a "good" life, continue to do so and contribute where you can, even when it's hard and you get nothing in return. It's not about what you get out of life, it's what you've given to this world.
When you're old and all dried up, at the end of your line....you can look back at all good things you attempted to do and all the kindness you have shown. You might even be able to laugh at all the rude and greedy people who crossed paths with you along the way - you'll be able to laugh because at that point, they will no longer matter to you.
I prefer to go along with the belief there is a higher power watching over us, but one who can't always protect us from life and the obstacles we have to face here on earth.
