Stealing Wealth.......

"Everybody Hates Capitalism"

None wants to give up his edge...his subsidy...or his privileges.

The rich tend to be even bigger anti-capitalists than the poor. As soon as they get some wealth they try to put the brakes on. They set up tests and hurdles...designed to keep the hoi polloi off their tennis courts and out of their businesses. They use every means possible to separate themselves from the masses – language, education, dress, customs, geography. They tend to speak differently...sometimes even using a completely different language...

...Nor do the rich typically stop at honest means. They also avail themselves of the police power of the state. Many laws, edits, and rules have been announced to regulate everything from the professions people must practice to the clothes they wear. "Serfs" were shackled to their farms, masters, and their station in life by law as well as by custom. Sumptuary laws forbade new money from imitating the fine dress of old money. Licensing requirements, tariffs, and regulations generally make it more difficult to enter into a profitable trade or business, thereby protecting those who are already in it...

Ain't that the truth.  Once 'at the top' they love doling out crumbs to the unwashed masses using socialist tactics that they alone are above.
