The players are called profiteers.
The idea is to find ways to make more money, increase one's wealth beyond that of everyone else. Lower taxes means fewer government (nonprofit) services and more opportunities for the profiteers to sell services for a profit. For example, profiteers have been trying to get rid of Medicare for years because it provides medical services that do not enrich medical insurance companies. Except, of course, the profiteers have found a way to make a profit using Medicare, called Medicare Advantage Plans.
Our game even attracts players from other countries. Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch are among the best known.
Even though most of the profiteers appear to be totally amoral, they often make powerful use of religious pawns. They are especially good at provoking fear inventing boogie men like WOKE. HA!
They can be very insidious at unearthing and amplifying racism. The current target enemy is DEI.
In this country, people can do almost anything except interfere with profit making.
One of our most basic values statements is "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." It is very sad that happiness has come to mean maximum wealth for so many people.
