I cannot speak for other countries in this world, but in America the general arrangement has been thus;
The relatively few at the top of the economic hierarchy have formed and control the 'banking system'. There it is determined who gets to use 'their' money and at what cost (interest and collateral), and for other 'terms' such as time.
They then create a next lower level of 'management' that they label as the 'voice' of the people that they have offered the perceived perception of working 'for' the people. All 'information' is on a 'need to know' basis from the 'top' down ... so no one ever really knows just what the entire truth of the whole operation is all about except those at the very top that have formed and control the whole entire 'system'.
The nation is built then with labor and dreams of more wealth from the 'bottom' up, the carrot being the $$$ ... yet the Intelligence that guides it all, is from the top down (the mind is more powerful than the muscle), but the people at the bottom are 'led' to believe that 'they', through their 'freely elected' government, actually 'control' the entire process. It is extremely important they the people continue to believe that they themselves are 'in charge' of the 'system' and that their regulating government is working for them rather than for those at the top of the hierarchy, the people with ALL of the money.
The people then fall into generally three major distinctions or 'classes', all of which are at the level 'below' the government and are thus subject to the 'rules' of the government. These would of course be the upper, middle, and lower classes.
All are encouraged to participate in 'their' government and are told that it is 'they' that own that government (that is as far as they 'need' to know about that). There are 'lower' level, more localized governments that are set up where the people actually do have much more 'say' in who is elected to represent them, but the higher up the 'elective' scale of advancement politicians go, or get, the more they run into the 'wall' of $$$ that it takes to advance further ... eventually they reach a level in the system where $$$ (remember who owns those $$$) determines who gets to 'play' the game.
So we have the 'upper' level of the major 'known' three, that often become Republicans, as they believe themselves major 'players' in the systems upper $$$ hierarchy (they have NO need to know better) and they thus feel that 'they' are actually in control (and THEY are most definitely major CONTRIBUTORS) ... of course the 'system' is divided (as in divide and conquer) to include a 'competing' party, the Democrats, that garner the 'opposing' following.
Then ALL of the peoples, below the level of the 'bankers' hiding at the very top, are encouraged to look to each other only, as the 'players' of importance to the entire 'game' that they are convinced is the totality of their 'reality'.
The Repubs are led to believe that they are the 'movers and shakers', the dominate controllers of upper mobility, offering the most intelligent answers for the direction of the country, a special club of entitlement about $$$ ...
The Dems then are supposed to be for the middle and lower class, the 'average' American who 'needs' that protection of 'their' interests from the domineering Repubs. The Dems then 'offer' promise, and some relief to be kept credible, for the middle and especially the lower class, that has absolutely NO power 'otherwise' ... actually having ONLY the power of their VOTE and NOthing else.
The major 'game' though, is the 'lending', the offering of $$$ as loans for the building of everything, business (as usual) and homes ... every one then is INVESTED IN the $$$ GAME ... home, business, work, play, transportation, health systems, and above all, RETIREMENT systems ... $$$.
To the degree of their investment and associated dreams of payoff, they are 'locked' into the 'system', the GAME they call reality. The upper class does quite well, they are generally 'well off' ! The VAST middle class just goes along, hoping to break in to the upper class, while they pay the bulk of the COSTS of all of the other ... and the lower class is just kept around for their votes it seems ... most of which go to the Dems anyway, because the Dems NEED those votes and are more willing to offer programs to the poor to get them ... thus so negatively criticised by the 'rich' Repubs ... and the GAME goes on and on and on ... as long as everyone really believes IT is the ONLY game in town.
Oh yes, I almost forgot, the Bankers have another secondary 'offering' ... for all of those that are fearful ... and who would not be fearful after watching what they 'think' they know of the system operate, … INSURANCE ... another whole industry business to 'take care' ... (really, "TAKE") the people ! We are in "Good Hands" with our inSUREnce companies ... just ask the residents involved with Katrina.
WE THE PEOPLE really do have a NEED TO KNOW MORE ... much MORE than we are so far ALLOWED.
