Musk And Trump Are Trying To Break The Government So Billionaires Can Take It Over – Ezra Klein
Scottie's Playtime 
Privatize WHAT services? So far the billionaires are pretty much acting like we’re unruly serfs who need a firm pogrom or two to bring us back into line. Our job is to pay taxes into their pockets and shut the fuck up if we know what’s good for us. We get NOTHING.
What I do not understand is why they’re so hellbent on ruining their customer’s lives? Do they not comprehend that if they blow up the economy, instigate mass unemployment and impoverish hundreds of millions of people…they lose too?

Hi Bruce. I wondered the same thing. The economy is the flow of money from person to person. The reason the 1950s were so good and same with the 60s / 70s is that the people had money to buy so others could sell. Then Reagan started moving the money from the lower incomes to the upper income levels. If you give a lower income person money they spend it keeping it in the system, the economic money flow. If you give it to the upper incomes that money is banked, moved out of the economic money flow. There is less to spend so others can sell. So your question, why are they killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
But that is the end stage of unrestrained capitalism. That is what it does when it goes to the extremes with no rules holding it back. Plus these wealthy have two goals. One is a work force so poor and desperate they will take any job at any way in any condition and be too afraid to complain. They want a return to the days of the robber barons of the pre 1920s /1930s. They want the gilded age back, when businesses ran the country and the federal government had little to no power to control them. As to who they will sell to … the publics in countries that did restrain capitalism and made sure the public had a decent living. That makes them a desperate work force they can mine for the most profit and a group to sell too as the US slides into a feudal state, with over lords who control regions (the most wealthy) and the peasants who work for the profit of the over lord who will give a tribute to the very most wealthy.
