Need help with a list. If I was to become a minority

(which I will be if I live 10 more years)
after of holding all the power as the majority for 8 generations what would I do ???

1) Accumulate all the wealth I could NOW

2) Accumulate all the political power I could NOW

3) Put up roadblocks and detours designed to make it damn near impossible
for the current minorities to accumulate any wealth(huge personal debt)

4) Own/Control the the media and use typical propaganda techniques to
control the masses …(Set minorities against one another etc...)

5) Skew the education system so the people I want educated become educated

6) Take away all social programs(safety nets)

7) Move my wealth overseas .. and trash the economy

8) Do away with any estate tax so my moron kids can run things when I'm gone

any other suggestions?

In case, there is any misunderstanding -- I'm against that.

But the gun stores, and gun section of general sporting goods stores sure have been full of white guys the past few years where I live. Lots of gun shows too with seemingly same attendees. Republican controlled state government(s) have been passing all kinds of lax gun laws and things like "stand your ground," and the like.

Whatever, I think your post nails what is going on among Republicans nowadays. Unless folks come to their senses, we are headed toward something like South Africa 40 years ago. Really kind of disgusting.
