Capitalism & free markets don't allow for monopolies on power. These global power hungry people always existed, but their dreams couldn't have been realised without money that they controlled. Fiat currencies have enabled this.
The problem isn't the rich, the problem is the central planning of human action. Hard money upsets this imbalance of power. It levels the playing field so that we are operating under the same rules.
I hope that this leads to a shift in consciousness & our manifested reality. It will certainly allow for pockets of humans to shift.
