The end game is having all the wealth and power in the hands of a few billionaires and multinational companies while the rest of us are left to fend for ourselves with NO help from any level of government. I see this as class warfare with the destruction of the middle class as the goal. It is my belief that the Republican party is waging an all out war on the middle class and thepoor.The pattern I see is working people struggling wealthy people getting more and more and republican politicians and Wall st. allied to get more from the working people and give more to the wealthy.What they like to say is that anyone asking for a living wage,health benefits or to close a tax loophole for billionaires is engaging in class warfare.Taking money from the rich to give to the poor is redistribution of wealth but taking money from the poor and giving it to the rich is capitalism.
