History tends to repeat itself and the wealthy have way overstepped and will probably get their just deserts unless they want to give up their wealth and I don't think that in general has been known to happen. There are some billionaires like Gates, Buffer, and Lucas giving away much of their wealth so they would get spared. Maybe they actually remember history.
