The Billionaires and Multi-millionaires of today have never known anything
but a peaceful nation run by a government that had the support of the greatest
number of citizens. Unfortunately, unlike the "Robber Barons" of yesteryear
— who, being well-read/educated, knew of the perils of oligarchy and sought
to attenuate the impact of their wealth by staying on the sidelines, out of sight
and out of the public mind, except to provide public benefits via philanthropy
and underwriting great public works — today's wealthy seek the limelight and
are eager to engage in playing politics for their own sole benefit. Not realizing
how absolutely dangerous an aroused public will be if and when they get what
they are wishing for.
