If you mean by Elite, the current government? I would say that they have slashed all government loans by 50% and worked out longer repayment plans for the poor, especially farmers. No one does that for the poor in other countries do they? Could it be that they dont want to pay anything back for the loans because they believed Thaksin's cronies??? Would that then make the current government unpopular with them, I would probably say so.

I don't claim to know everything about Thai history and politics but this looks like a pattern, luring people into debt then making it harder to get out, trapping people. Are the poor people being trapped into debt? Is this a part of the globalist agenda to disrupt society and institute their control? Whatever is happening it seems to be playing into the globalists' agenda.

You have no understanding of the realism that is going on, I suspect that you are just a traveller with little finances that has befriended some poor uneducated Thai's or have an uneducated thai girlfriend from one of the bars, would I be close? but even then the majority of Thai prostitutes do not support the red shirts as they are harming their trade, as they are harming the livelyhood of all the hotel, service and tour industry staff that come from Esarn too!
Now the poor are just being used as pawns in a game of power!

Thank you for your decorum. It is noted and being sent to the moderators for review. This is fair warning to you, even though it doesnt worth a reply from me.

It gets worse from there. People have no idea how much
the poor are "done" with rulers, leaders, and learned authority figures.

Hmmm....and who eggs on the soldiers to murder their own fellow countrymen? but then, i will not insult you that you are blind, deaf or dumb or look down upon you to tag some sod as your hubby, for I believe all humans are equal, white or black, rich or poor.
