That isn't where we are heading

We will stop at Fascism, where there are a handful of huge companies and so many conflicts of interest between the government and the companies that it is hard to tell where one stops and the other starts. The interested student can work out for themselves just how close we are right now. Jay

Your refined sensibilities notwithstanding, the term for "Fat Cats enriching themselves at the cost of the Ordinary Joe" is, was, and will continue to be "Fat Cats enriching themselves at the cost of the Ordinary Joe". Too bad if you find that too revealing, or something.
