(2,561 posts)Global economic collapse would eliminate all middle class influence and allow the One Percent to set up a global dictatorship of the 99 percent.
The last time the One Percent attempted to achieve this goal was during World War II. That turned out to be too messy. US bankers and Wall Street did business with all sides, but the Axis powers riled up the masses who fought back, and the attempt failed.
The current attempt at global domination has been carried out more subtly.
The tools are the capture of global trade using government puppets to make corporate sponsored trade and financial agreements such as NAFTA and the World Trade Organization.
There is the setting up and taking over of central banks, such as the Federal Reserve Bank, beholden to the bankers and Wall Street.
There are the huge tax breaks to the wealthy and corporations, and the ability to hide income in offshore tax havens.
Let's not forget war profiteering (Iraq, Afghanistan), exorbitant health care costs, stolen elections, corrupt politicians, privatization of education, and more.
This is part of the big picture. The powers that be will give in temporarily on social issues. However, don't be fooled. Once the economy collapses, and the dictatorship is instituted, the One Percent will revert to their draconian agenda.
