Robber Barons have never left, they just keep changing their titles, and their scapegoats. Now they have more money to protect what they imagine they have, are gathering power to maintain their position, become more paranoid, the more they have to lose. They make the mistake of seeing the 'poor' as a statistic, when those who saw themselves as average people are now having trouble making ends meet, for the sake of a few conglomerates, that control power,water,fuel,pharmaceuticals,insurance,banking,the Law,insurance, and food, and the Military. When people can't get what they need, when wealth has been gotten through misdirection, (Three walnut shells and a pea,) rather than through talent, they start to talk, and find they are not alone. Equality is a word that has been abused by many politicians. Opportunity is seen as the responsibility of the individual, and lack of it is portrayed as a lack of initiative by the individual. Opportunity to make money, which is regarded as a measurable quality of success. It must be done after being educated in and subject to the regulations of a system that is designed to maintain the 'Status Quo' (The bit where the elite keep the money.) There comes a time when the elite believe it is impossible to survive without money. Taking their situation for granted, and forgetting that very often the general public can do things without making a transaction. People traded and bargained long before pawn brokers came up with cash, but the thing that people want with any trade is both fairness, and trust. The way the economy anywhere today defies common sense. The idea that those who are wealthy can work in our best interests ? People work well for the things they care about. When it becomes an obsession less is seen outside the narrow vision. They become so interested in their own affairs, that when the people have something to say, they won't be ready to answer.
