Inverted totalitarianism at work. Paraphrasing a passage from the Bible, of all books, this one is a good parable of human nature: From those whom have nothing, all will be taken; to those that have all, more will be given.

People whom can’t fight back will be abused if there are incentives of the elite and their functionaries to extract money from these poor... like a legitimized protection racket by a proverbial Sheriff of Nottingham.
