The rich who dominate the world do not seek the level of riches they enjoy for the sake of being rich. It is all about power and control.Having millions of dollars and owning a great deal of property does not by itself constitute wealth. No matter how much money you have, you will not be considered wealthyif you had to perform all of your menial tasks ,cooking your food , washing your clothes,cleaning your home. Rich people need impoverished people around to perform these tasks. Thus rich people created poverty. They manipulated mans ignorance and greed to establish the concepts of private ownership and money.

We do need a revolution, but most people believe the dream that they will win the lottery, become famous, marry rich, etc. So they don't want to rock the boat in case they become rich.

Interesting idea but here's the flaw:
I am a financial specialist and I have millionaire clients. Many very wealthy people (yes even some billionaires) keep it a secret. There's even a book on this called The Millionaire Next Door.
They drive middle class cars, live in middle class neighborhoods and go to work every day. Sam Walton for instance always drove his old beat up pick up truck. Allot of people don't want strangers cleaning their home. They also don't want their friends or sometimes even family to judge them based on their net worth. These people are in an insane tax bracket but still shop at Target and Wa*mart just like everyone else and even clip coupons.
Yeah Donald Trump is all about celebrity and power but not everyone is.

You have a very warped, and I suspect, influenced view on capitalism.
The poor will stop supporting the rich when they get off their lazy asses and do something about their situation, but most poor people are content with being subordinates so they stay there. Building wealth is a very difficult thing to do. It takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice to achieve. Most poor and middle class people are not willing to put forth that effort, so they remain poor and middle class.

If there were no rich people 90% of businesses would not exist, and therefore no place for middle class people to work. Most people in the poverty level don't work, but rely on welfare. As long as the world is given to them, they are not going to look for work.

when someone poor or, middle class gets into a high ranking political position, in order to be able to do something about it.
in other words, no time soon.
