Remember how the collapse of the soviet union created the oligarch class of incredibly rich untouchables?

American billionaires sure do.

Precisely. These cats fancy themselves the kings of the new world order, and if nobody stops them they'll pull it off too.

But their plan appears to be quite messy and harder to execute on than they thought so all we have so far is a lot of destruction with not much to show for it. Even the White House looks like a demolition site and not a peep about it.

I believe that if any past president had so much as suggested this rather than executed on it they'd have been impeached instantly.
