“So you don’t believe that a certain class of people are at the top of the pyramid and control most cultures?”
Not really.
That’s rather vague as well. I certainly think there are people or groups with too much influence.
I worked in both intelligence and presidential politics. You can take it from me, there is an elite. They’re not all specifically “evil” though. I liked General Haig and his wife, got a kick out of Robert Novak and knew many other fine high-level people.
