If the rich are trying to take over the country (as we liberals maintain) what would they do? They would convince people democracy is not good and they are better to lead the country.

You conflate democracy and big government again. They are two very different things.

If the rich were trying to take over the country, the easiest path for them to do so would be to convince people that big government controlling their lives was good, and then the rich would co-opt the government. That's much easier than trying to stage a coup, which is their only other real alternative to take over.
