    Because the most well-armed portion of the populace has convinced themselves that the lifestyle of the rich is within their reach and identifies more with them than with their actual peers.

    I know we’re having a laugh, but the time when this sort of action is even plausible is quickly running out.

      Well that, and the wealthy have seized control of the MSM to propagandize the working class into believing that the rich alone can save them. Since the money holder always, “need a little more”, they gravitate to fascism which promises them “a little more”.
