8. Too Many Robber Barons WANT a Theocracy

They know that under the current system they can only squeeze the rest of us so hard before the people rebel.
A theocracy is absolutely immune to popular rebellion, no matter how repressive it becomes.
No theocracy has EVER fallen to a popular rebellion, in all of recorded history.
This is very attractive to the Koch brothers and some of the other robber barons.

It is argued that the robber barons would not want to live under a theocracy themselves.
They would not have to. They would live ABOVE it, like the sheikhs of Saudi Arabia.
