Yertle the Turtle by Dr Seuss
Dr. Seuss's Tribute to the 99 Percent: Yertle the Turtle
Since it is Dr. Seuss, the King is literally standing on the backs of those below him. Of course the King comes to a terrible end - and justice for the 99 percent of the turtles is restored by the end of the book.
The photo below is a Creative Commons photo from a Dr. Seuss political cartoon. Published in 1942 - this is example of the political cartooning that he developed prior to publishing children's books. Here the structure of the turtles is reversed; but I believe this is showing an inkling of Dr. Seuss's idea for this book. And the picture demonstrates that Dr. Seuss absolutely knew that any country could not be run with a power imbalance.

Economic Inequity will Lead to Unrest
The discrepancy between the very rich in the United States and the very poor has been rapidly expanding and the middle class has been shrinking.
Many were furious that the banks were bailed out - only to freeze lending to common people but give bonuses to their officials.
Too much inequity led to the Occupy movement - and will only lead to more unrest.
