True. But who have more to lose? The guy with nothing to start with or the guy with a billion dollar?

  Short of that all out revolution, the "guy with nothing to start". He can lose his life, the lives of his family, etc. The "guy with a billion dollar" can afford to buy protection that keeps he and his family alive, unkidnapped, etc.

    The French monarch found out how well their billions work in the French Revolution. Or the late Russian Tsars. If you think money can protect you in a class revolt, you are deluding yourself. The guys with gun simply shoot you and confiscate your money. The money guys can only survive if the system protect them. And here we are talking about how to maintain a system so that the money guys can continue to enjoy their wealth.
