The Oligarchs Don't Understand That Economic Collapse Happens When They Get All the Money

14. Wishful thinking

Yes, those rich people with their hundreds of paid economists are not as smart as you and I. Must be great for our egos but it is self defeating. They know exactly what they are doing here and all over the world. Right now they are using giants like Walmart to milk the wealth out of this country and reducing their taxes at the same time. There is a big world ou there and when they have taken out the biggest target, the proud middle class and reduced us to third world class peasants grovelling at their feet for a pitiable existence they will have gone a long way to their ultimate goal which is to control all of us for their egos.
Get over this rising tide raises all boats mentality as if simply understanding that would inform the oligarch and they would suddenly become the allies of the middle class and the poor. My dad told me about the rising tidewhen I was less than 4 years old and I accepted it as a good democrat for many many years but as a child I thought as a child and now as a man I must think as a man. I cannot hope ohers who destroy our way of life will just come to their senses. I must fight them for myself, my children, and for my country. The last thing I need is to be confused about my enemy. And they are our enemies when they would try to buy our elections, try to influence our government to give them powers over, try to destroy the institutions such associal security the people depend on to make us vulnerable to their control.
First and foremost lets start by admitting those trying to control the country if not smart themselves can certainly buy enough smarts at least to overshadow you and I . Lets get off the ego trip. Second lets put aside that notion, that they would be satisfied with raising all boats when in truth their satisfaction can only be assured by climbs to more and more power over the American citizenry and workers around the world. The measure of their satisfaction is how far removed the powerful are from us.
Next rather than concentrating on wealth accumulation, lets attack the mechanisms which let them accumulate more and more power which in turn serves to increase trhat wealth concentration. The wealth is not the target for destruction but the concentration of power must be destroyed.
Fair elections and equal weight to each vote are the key to saving this country. We must fight for fair districting and destroy voter suppression. but lets dispense with these ignorant notions of educating the powerful for our benefit. It is not to their benefit to share- get it??
