The plaintiffs’ arguments in Moore v. United States have little basis in law — unless you think that a list of long-ago-discarded laissez-faire decisions from the early 20th century remain good law. And a decision favoring these plaintiffs could blow a huge hole in the federal budget. While no Warren-style wealth tax is on the books, the Moore plaintiffs do challenge an existing tax that is expected to raise $340 billion over the course of a decade.
But Republicans also hold six seats on the nation’s highest Court, so there is some risk that a majority of the justices will accept the plaintiffs’ dubious legal arguments. And if they do so, they could do considerable damage to the government’s ability to fund itself.
That’s a great, basic-level takedown of why OPs conspiracy theory is so exceedingly dumb.
There’s a lot more depth to it but you don’t need the depth when even a single glance shows how stupid it is.
These people, by definition, have wealth and power. Why would they want to change that?
Why do you think it’s a conspiracy theory when it’s pretty thoroughly documented?

Imagine thinking rich people falling for prepper bullshit means they’re all cooperating on a secret plan to have vastly worse lives than they do today lol
The very first one describes the steps they took in the fifties to regain power by collapsing our government. This is the culmination of their plan. Did you think they had no end game?
