Its one of the best summaries I’ve seen in a while.
It's missing a very important bit tho: namely that the "taxes → bailout → billionaires" funnel is a lot less important than the "billionaire-owned, monopolistic marketplaces for basic-needs/essentials → billionaires" one.
Not only it's how they get most of their money, but it's also how they are literally controlling the entire economy, setting the prices for rent, food, and most consumer goods.
