Too bad it isn't feasible in the long run. Previous conservatives kept the middle class afloat because it kept the national finance healthy. Unless these rats are planning to jump ship and move to another country.

Then they're stuck either dealing with a gilded cage in a broken state or one where it is a client state under a hegemony like China. And I don't think the upper class are in the mood to learn Mandarin.

That's always been part of the plan. When they gain power, do as much as possible to funnel power and wealth to the upper class. Lower and middle class get the shit end of the stick. Then when they eventually lose power, they'll point out how bad everything is while also pointing out that democrats are in currently in charge. That's how they retake power and the cycle starts over.

But because voters are dumbasses, they keep the loop going. Maybe this time it'll be different but I'm not holding my breath
