I concur. What we have now is the elite sucking up as much wealth, land, and assets as possible as they retreat to their well guarded fortresses, islands, and gated communities.
I'm cynical enough to wonder if the goal of the puppet masters is a culling of the world population.
It happens every time socialism is tried. The politicians run out of other peoples money, and there's not enough resources left to support the dependent masses. There comes a time when the dependent herd has to be thinned.
In the past, the politicians simply shot people, burned them in ovens, or starved them to death. In America, I believe they'll just set the stage so Americans will take each other out (because we have the 2nd amendment designed to protect ourselves from an overly oppressive government). That way, the politicians can keep their hands clean - or so it will appear.
