Thing is though, we've always been an oligarchy.* They were called Robber Barons before that's all.* They've never gone away. The modern economic system was entirely based upon the mortgage industry created in the 1950s when WW2 soldiers came home which fed the banks for a long time. But the building is mostly done.* The feeding is done.* What's left?* Stocks?* Heh.* I played the stock market about 15 years ago for a few years.* Made enough to live off of for 13 years along with a business.* It's not hard to play the game. But it's all fake.
