Enough of their wealth is in offshore accounts, tangibles like jewelry, art, massive land holdings around the globe or invested in tax-free bonds stored in non-litigatible trusts that they don’t worry about nationalization.

It is about control. However, I have never understood how they think they will ever control the criminal class, especially when the PC methodologies they use to tighten their grip on the middle class mandate no death penalty and no long term jail sentences. These people believe they can purchase security, yet those capable of security are most likely the very people who are capable of assassinations, kidnappings for ransom and who will have the most access to their gated communities and their estates.

I have personally known several members of some of these elite families. They are very contradictory individuals and they believe their own PR. There is a lot of infighting, even within families. I find it amazing that they have all this money, all these associated special interest groups, all this media and educational control and they still are not confident or secure. They will not accept that they have set up a dynamic that pits the middle and creative entrepreneurial classes against their goals in what is more and more a domestic asymmetrical battle.

Interesting response. I’ll reply to that later but I’m just interested in your nickname . You were a liberal? what caused you to see the light.

I’m a conservative and always have been . I’m a rugged individualist and believe in freedom. That’s why I’m for very limited government, lower taxes, free market capitalism, freedom,individual rights, property rights, gun rights, free speech rights, pro-life and I’m for deporting illegals. are you for all that or any of that and were you before when you were a liberal?
