Absolutely.
Our progressive income tax is designed to prevent the working and innovative people from accumulating the wealth at the levels that the old-money rich have.
Lobbyist and the mechanics of crony capitalism via government regulations and sweetheart deals are designed so that innovative small businesses cannot compete fairly against the entrenched business interests.
Farming regulations (recently keeping kids off tractors) are designed to cripple the small family farms in favor of the large factory farming operations that give billions to politicians.
Government power has a vested interest in pursuing the interests of those who ‘vested’ into the system.
What you state is true; except that there is no conspiracy to achieve a totalitarian end.
The state cannot help itself; it always acts so as to dissolve natural human society, the better to extend its powers.
