To address what you're trying to talk about, I need to bring in the bigger picture. The wealthy are constantly trying to retain their position in society. This is done through the manipulation of markets and governments. The basis for how these markets flourish is based on infinite growth and humanity on Earth is discovering limits. This leaves these parasitic wealthy to find alternate ways to exploit the masses for wealth or power. Currently, the United State's military industrial complex is the latest, most opportune fascist imperial arena to profit from.
