Your comments were: I don't think is a death wish, it is with full awareness that they and their families will be fine no matter what, and in fact, they may be 'fatter' by actually doing what they are doing: selling out the US that so many died for. We need to grasp the concept that the ideals most (I hope) of us believe in are not shared by people in power, be politics, business, or religion: they all dance to a totally different sheet of music.

You are so right on the money. The elites will have their lifestyle no matter what. In all honesty, few of them care about the rest of you, in fact, they can make their own lives more luxurious if more of you are pushed down toward the indentured status.

The elites in Mexico, Venezuela, El Salvador, Equador, Bolivia, Nigeria, and whatever other hellhole exists don't care about their type of government or their citizens rights and welfare because it doesn't bother them. American elites act the same way. Why do you think they so readily export your jobs overseas, send our technology and manufacturing capacity to slave wage dictatorships, and extort the illegal labor they let into this country.

Los Angeles has become a proto-Lima. But the elites there at the LA Times and the movies and the outsourced tech businesses still live in Palos Verdes or Brentwood or Malibu. Think they care about meatpackers in Iowa or carpenters in LA?

"...The elites will have their lifestyle no matter what..."

I think we understand how it works.

Many years ago, visiting a Communist country on business, I was (as a young and duh person) surprised to see the elite shop at malls with ALL the same goods available at most NY 5th Ave. shops.
It was an eye opener, but it helped me further understand how government works, Communist or not: not much difference, but what I can discern is that when the sheeple have enough to eat and play, they ignore the abuses of their leaders, and is only when things get REALLY tight that they start griping.

Like it was said centuries ago in ancient Rome, just give the people bread and circus (it seems to work, just look at the sports and day-time channels!).
