There was a '60s movie called "Dr Strangelove, or how I learned to love the bomb" whose caricatures are as valid today as they ever were- except that some participants have swapped places. I'll let you figure out who's who in 2018.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
