Man when I think of living it up with wealth and power I think of Sal Maroni in The Dark Knight.
These guys don't need a criminal underworld to have a cigar, dress in a tailored designer suit, get a drink and a couple of girls to pretend to like you while you drown your thoughts in excessively loud music and exotic dancers on stage.
I think these elite are afraid of what they are: flawed humans. They can't get everything they demand, and they'd rather destroy humanity than admit they were wrong or made a mistake, or felt bad about something. So they have to pump the fascists up and make damn sure the people have someone other that just you to get angry about.
