People who talk about the super rich never understand the situation.
The United States has a private central bank. It has loaned out 30 trillion dollars to the US government. It doesn't have 30 trillion dollars.
The US national debt doubles every 8 years regardless of who is president, and it's done this since 1971 - when the US left the gold standard. It was 398 billion dollars in 1971. I'll leave the calculation up to you. Actually, I won't because nobody will do it:
1971 398 billion
1979 796 billion
1987 1.592 trillion
1995 3.184 trillion
2003 6.368 trillion
2011 12.736 trillion
2019 25.472 trillion
2027 50.944 trillion
2035 101.888 trillion
Our debt is right this second: $29.8 trillion - https://usdebtclock.org/ - there are SLIGHT variations, but on average, doubles every 8 years. You can see how closely with today's current debt in early 2021.
You want to find out who the REALLY rich are? Find out who owns the unaudited Federal Reserve. Be careful though, they are the world's most powerful mafia. They fund what they want to do, and do not fund what they want to kill and they have unlimited resources because they are literally the bank - they make money at will.
