"The “powers that be” actually want to destroy the middle class. That’s not something they’d say, but it’s apparent that the elite would prefer a society with a small number of themselves supported by a sufficient number of plebs but without a troublesome middle class. They don’t like having to rub shoulders with masses of hoi polloi when they visit St Mark’s Square in Venice or Macchu Pichu in Peru. They want just enough service personnel around to make it an enjoyable experience. "
