The Gummint INTENDS to "consume as much of the country's wealth as possible"... and that will be nearly ALL of it.
They will do it directly through taxes, fees, registrations, etc.
They will do it indirectly through deficit spending, inflation, and currency debasement.
In former Soviet Russia before the collapse, there were a few citizens with lots of wealth, a relatively small class with modest lifestyles (higher-up Communist Party members), and 80% of citizens queuing up for toilet paper and potatoes.
The US Gummint is working the same scheme on us, and of course the Fed is one if its tools.
