Yes, we certainly have a lot more goodies.

That's true, but I think we can only "work" on it on the spiritual realm. In practical terms, it appears that everything is stacked against the masses making very much money.

This whole masses versus elite issue reeks of separation and victimness. Does not work for me.

Spiritually, I agree with you. This is where I have trouble: on the one hand, I read about a lot of negative "facts," but on the other hand, in my personal life there's been so many miracles and wonderful coincidences.
This is the reason why I try to cut down on reading negative information, however "true" it may be. I don't always succeed though.
And there may be an elite that's against me, but I try not to give "it" very much of my energy (especially negative feelings like anger or fear).
