The guy who convinces you that your income is unfair, and to whom you give the power to fix it, becomes king.
You have 10 bucks. Your buddy has a hundred. With your help I extract 10 bucks from your buddy. So now you have 20 to his 80 and I own both of you. You need me to get more from your buddy and he needs me to keep you from mugging him.
I am now your king.
Big Pig takes a 50% cut of all money that passes through their hooves. That's why this keeps coming up. That money is mostly wasted, and the nation becomes less wealthy. Building wealth is hard work. Destroying it and living off the cut is easy and fun.
