They seem to forget how the elites got guillotined during the French Revolution. I'm just making it clear, there's nothing bad enjoying the fruits of your efforts. It must however, be enjoyed discretely. In our country we have the concept of "evil eye". Envy is a powerful force, even if you don't think of it in a supernatural way. They may not say it but there would be people that would be very happy about your downfall. And they may help bring it about if they were envious enough. No one has ever died out of too much modesty.

The elites ensured that would be impossible this time. The ONLY country on the planet that did stand a chance was America because of it's gun laws. That time is long passed though the Elites have tanks, jets, subs, battleships, nukes. Those that would fight for freedom have rifles... it is long over debt serf.

When I said elite I meant simple "rich" not "elite" that some people refer to as some shadow government of sorts. When you said tank, jets, subs, I believe you've got states in mind.

I wouldn't blame the rich. Most of them have worked hard to earn whatever they have. And they pay taxes more than the poor (I am not sure whether the poor pay any tax at all). Most of the government revenue in the form of taxes and levies come from the rich. So we can't ignore their contribution in nation building and in the running of the government.

Agreed - so long that they can't rig the system in their favor. Work must be rewarded.
