What does the upper class have though?

This is why I don't own a car and instead invested a lot of money in a very high performance, long range ebike. Because of the way the law is currently, you can own even a very powerful electric bicycle with no license, no insurance, no registration, nothing. In the eyes of the law it is a bicycle. 

This means you can ride it anywhere a bicycle can go. Downtown cyclists often mingle with cars, so if you live in a city you lose nothing except protection from the elements, crash safety and trunk space. When I go get groceries I just use a backpack. 

It's not a perfect solution but it's a reliable motorized vehicle I don't have to pay the government anything to own or operate, the "fuel" costs almost nothing and all the guts are on the outside so I can easily repair and maintain it by myself.

Just think: many people spend 30 years paying for their home, and when they are done, it's still not really theirs. You should be able to retire in peace and not have to worry that you will be kicked out of your home because you ran out of money.

Middle class? It does not exist any more! Welcome to the 2-tier society!

Totally agree with you. This is the sad truth and such situation is not only in your country. 
It looks like no one government needs really free and healthy-wealthy citizens:-(

If it (whatever 'it' is) can be taxed, then you don't own it. At best you're only renting.

Please re-steem if you do.

You have written about what is happening in the world today that is a direct attack on the non-.001%.  When the wealthy of Europe/Asia created the "rentier class" in the 1600s, they did not want to build any more castles with stone, mansions with brick & mortar, etc. Nothing new needed to be created, no new wealthy needed to be graduated from the lower classes. They just wanted to rent out their hundreds of acres of land to the poor and live off the the rent.  This attitude continued after the 1600s to the New World, where fractional reserve central banking allowed the wealthy to fraudulently steal newly-built houses and newly-occupied farmland by lending out currency to the colonists and then subtly stealing it from them via bankruptcy, war, etc.  Then the rent system could be charged to new "owners", continuing the cycle.

The modern problem is that the wealthy used the banks who used government-created laws to confiscate the land from the original colonist families.  The governments became their own entities, not just run by the wealthy, and politicians became a new class inbetween the wealthy and the poor.  These politicians want to become rich, like everyone else, and the wealthy found themselves at the wrong end of the barrel after a generation.

So the wealthy today do not own the castles, the mansions, the hundreds of acres of land.  They removed themselves from direct ownership, which made them targets of government, and formed paper corporations to own the land and houses.  Then the wealthy made themselves rarely-seen owners of the corporations.  The Board of Trustees for each corporation.  Thus legal games could be played on property tax, usage, etc, while the wealthy remained in control by a perverted form of stewardship.  (But all the Board - the stewards - are from certain families, and their salaries and benefits are Top Secret, they use intermediaries for all corporation actions, etc.)

The middle class - those who have not yet been driven poor by high taxation, high rent, restrictive property laws, lowering wages, etc. - are now "stationary targets", since they still have the dream of "owning" land and buildings, cars and valuables.  Billionaires do not "own" - they live in 6-star hotel rooms, are driven in limos owned by corporations, fly in private airplanes owned by corporations, vacation in locations around the world owned or rented by corporations.  Thus their taxes are minuscule.

This is the state of the middle class, the renting poor, and the non-owner but fabulously wealthy upper class.

The creation of The Fed in 1913 put the final nail in our coffin.

Have you seen this [video clip](https://steemit.com/consumer/@newsandviews/corporations-want-to-make-sure-you-can-t-fully-own-anything-anymore-so-that-you-are-a-perpetually-trapped-consumer-slave) from the Max Keiser show? They describe exactly how large corporations as well are trying to stop people from fully owning the products that we buy so that consumers of their products can be turned into captured debt slaves in an invisible legal prison.

This is all ultimately part of the UN 2030 Agenda where you won't own anything anymore and you will be herded into green, smart city consumer paradises like Singapore and Dubai where some socialist/collectivist wet dream will take care of you. You can have everything you want as long as you give up all your rights and freedoms and allow yourself to be herded in with the rest of the sheeple.

The real truth is much closer to an merger of Brave New World, 1984, and Soylent Green. The goal is to make sure you can't own a f'n thing and therefore you have no ability to resist the one world global agenda of neo-techno-feudalism that your "owners" want to have in place. At some point the full on shearing of the sheeple will also then occur. Have a look at this great summary [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRybM76qx6I) by TruthStream Media as well.

I want to say i agree with this 100%. 
However, China is FAR worse...

My wife and i just joined a multi level business.  However, its all organic products and everyday organic staples. Such as toothpaste, soap, etc.  We buy this stuff anyways so might as well buy for ourselves and make money. Plus, its organic.

Yes, it is amazing how many people don't know the difference between an Asset and a Liability, or even what money is and is not.  I have been teaching my son these things from an early age (now 8). It's similar to a Want and a Need.  
Thanks for the post!

Truth.

Just curious.  Can you elaborate on this paragraph?  I find it confusing. 

"But, what I am really here to point out is that article 666 states that by signing the card, you give all of your stuff and future labor to the govern-cement. That is correct. If you have a SS card, you own nothing. You are only the current user of that stuff, and the govern-cement can come and take it any time they wish."

I have been a builder developer for 30 years. Physically fit at 61 i now have semi retired and only dabble in acerages that i can put in farm or forest status. Then we build a modest house and a nice barn greenhouse combo. Keeps taxes in the $500 to 800 range in Idaho and Montana.  If the market crashes i still end up with a paid off small farm with low taxes. I am considering the same life in Chile . A small farm in Chile pays zero property tax. With a modest house $100 to 200 a year.
Really enjoyed this well written article. Totally agree.

It's depressing to think about but I think it's been this way for the entirety of human history. There will always be people that are rich and in power that control the masses. I don't know if there's a way to ever escape this due to the way humans are :(

yeah true words in this article really agree, here in germany too, but if you might speak out loud against the gov. here, if you are a native german, it may be that you really disappear, especially if you have a license card for "owning" a weapon then they come at 100% and take them away, even if you have the license and own it legal, and then you disappear or they put so many trials on you that you are f***** up, they even don't apply their own laws in court or show you a license that they are real judges so yeah really fair, man against the state speaking out or telling others these truths will cause you a lot of trouble and maybe you get labeled as "Reichsbürger" and simply disappear what a hell the world had become -.-'
