Is there a cabal of Plutocrats trying to decimate the working class? Yup.

13. I think you're fixating too much on the Koch Bros.

I don't disagree with the notion that they're harmful to the democratic process and that their ultimate goal is untold wealth at the expense of everybody else's welfare and the survival of this republic as a functioning representative democracy. They would run the country as a corporatist dictatorship if they had enough leverage to neuter Congress and the White House.

However, assuming the Koch brothers' power base is destroyed, how are we certain that others in the business world and on Wall Street won't move in and fill the power vacuum? A few powerful interests in that realm seek greater profits, seemingly at the expense of everything else around them. When we reference history, we see the Business Plot that was hatched to overthrow Franklin Roosevelt and install a pro-fascist/pro-Hitler dictatorship to deal with the Great Depression, for instance, and these guys pre-dated the Koch brothers.
