Too much inequality in society is a mortal danger to 1%.

That’s the beauty of the democratic capitalism system. If a government isn’t totalitarian, it naturally seeks to preserve stability thus having to elevate common people, lest they would cease to form a civilized group or simply vote away the politicians.

99% rule the 1% through elections.

There is no better system of checks and balances where opposite engines of greed vector sum to faster and faster abundance for everyone.

Is this satire? Or haven't you noticed that what actually happens is that the politicians are all owned by the elite 1%, and they allow you to choose between politician A and politician B who both take their orders from the elite to give you the illusion that the government is the 99% ruling the 1%.

They’ll just start bopping the 99% out the picture until the 1% is 51%.
