By making it impossible for anyone else to afford basic necessities, thereby rendering the entire public completely dependent on the ultra-rich,” Nathan answered. “They’re already dependent on the rich,” Bridge added. “The poor can’t get much poorer.” “But the middle class can, and will,” Nathan replied. “Until there is no middle class anymore. Just the poor and the very, very rich. "
