roachboy, your contributions are a valuable addition to the dialog here. Thanks.
My own sense of this, broadly, is that everyone has a degree of wealth and a degree of power. I agree with the notion that humans act from a basis of self-interest regarding wealth and power relationships. No disagreement there.
I do sense a sort of demarcation that gets drawn between certain groups with wealth and power and other groups with wealth and power. As all parts of the political spectrum participate in the same executions of wealth-and-power consolidation, the tendency to draw doctrinaire conclusions regarding the superiority, moral imperative, or correctness of one group over another does not convince me.
