a small elite defined

millionaires and corporate executives who hold only profit and stock value as important, rather than the well being of the rest of us.

they already control things to an enormous extent.

The elite are the elite, because they think they know better than anyone how to run our lives.  They may be small in number but they always seem to be around.  They convince just enough people to vote for them, and the people filing into a herd that is always  there as well present a constant obstacle to people who want genuine freedom.

Naut

But the people are the same today as they were in the days of the revolution, it was only a small percent of the populace that had any idea what the war was about, or were even willing to fight and yet they did this, they as a rag tag group defeated the most powerful nation on earth and they did this with faith. It is goodness and the belief in goodness that makes all the difference.
