In most cases, under every political and economic system, the people up top don't understand or know ANYTHING. They simply think they are geniuses because they are on top. And they know NOTHING. They are completely dependent on working people, the people they disdain but who produce EVERY DIME of wealth. Only the working people understand how the wealth is produced because they produce it.
Some rich moron sitting his fat ass in an overstuffed chair barking orders knows exactly nothing.
When he fires people to "cut expenses", he destroys productivity. But in America it doesn't matter because wealth is largely produced by the fiction of moving numbers around on a balance sheet, by Wall Street swindling on a massive scale, and other ridiculous shell games.
But it WILL matter, because those morons are DESTROYING THE HABITABILITY OF THE EARTH.
That's why the billions of us who are sane and caring and who love our children and are determined to protect them and the planet they will inherit will soon step in and take down any leader, any rule, any law and any system that threatens us.
