I think I had in mind traditional religious appeals, especially those by which "God" will provide for the faithful. The "invisible hand" of the market fills a similar role; indeed, it is exactly the same appeal dressed up in secularized verbage.
God/luck/the market will all provide to the faithful...you know, if you'll just take it up the backside for Us a little while longer, etc. I don't think its difficult to observe elites dragging this sort of thing around.
