The wealth of the "capital class", whatever that means, is dwarfed by the debt being run up by governments.

My favorite example: if you confiscated all of the wealth from all of the billionaires in the USA, it would fund the federal government for around six months. If you add state and local governments, those funds would last just weeks.

The rich don't have your money. Your government does, and they're flushing it down the toilet (and bombing Iran).
