Thats not primary a dictator thing. 2tierkier has a bundle stacked away as do most of those that yeild the power we give them.

Heh, the real dictators aren't the one right in front of your eyes with millions, they are pulling strings behind the scenes with billions.

And most will be oblivious to the imposition or where it came from.

Yeah. Putin and his oligarchy come to mind.

I'd be far more concerned about the smarter of "our own" (they really aren't), those that don't manage to get themselves caught on record every few months & their favourite play toys... that often do...

Yeah. It is all a global dog & pony puppet show to distract us from the real vampires pulling the strings.

Because it works & has been since before some of our ancestors were playing a smaller version of it.

It was a little more obvious in hindsight then, when you consider the figurehead had a far tinier force at their disposal than the "supporters" did.

Now you just use / buy / rent someone elses.

Roughly speaking, it's not quite that straightforward...
