This would work quite alright for the oligarchs, who will simply
take their franchises elsewhere.
I've just spent half an hour doing a corporate autopsy of a company
that became just a pile of patents and got sold to another, then
to a patent troll who help crush the economy for their own benefit.
It's the former CTO of Microsoft, a really nasty person.
If US citizens allow this to continue they'll be robbed and their children
forced to pay more debt. A few minutes ago someone sent me this
satire which was inspired by my posts:
