We still have the democratic system, as things get tighter and people poorer they'll start voting for a tax on capitol. In the UK the the proposal of a mansion tax keeps popping up, this is really the future of owning capital, just owning it will have a cost. Which is actually a great capitalist strategy because if a 10 room mansion is being under utilised the owner is going to be compelled to use it more efficiently.

No they won't, the rich are in control, this is an oligarchy, they aren't going to do this to themselves.
