I don't think the "whom" is all that difficult to ascertain.

"Whom" do YOU think it is?
I think the division of poor and rich is created not by somebody or some committee saying "oh, lets do THIS for power" but by an outgrowth of policies developed over decades to favor the rich at the expense of everyone else. The rich get richer. Decades ago or longer, and ongoing, wealthy and powerful corporations lobby for policies to favor themselves. Policies that foster predatory lending, damage organized labor, stagnate wages, and much more. For power and wealth for themselves. Not to "create" a poor-rich divide for someone else's power. But a bigger than ever gap between the haves and have nots is what has developed from selfish, short sided, favor-the-rich policies.
 
Whom do you think is driving a wedge between white males and everyone else? Whom do you think is driving a wedge between people of different skin colors? Whom do you think is driving a wedge between sexual orientations? Whom do you think is driving a wedge between liberals and conservatives? Whom do you think is driving a wedge between parents and children via schoolboards? Whom do you think is driving a wedge between mom and pop business owners and rioters in the street ("mostly peaceful protests" as mom and pop businesses burn in the background)? Whom do you think is driving a wedge between a teenage kid and his Constitutional Right to Free Speech? Whom do you think is driving a wedge between a blue collar worker and what he/she has rightly earned by taxes, inflation, and repressive policies? Whom do you think is driving a wedge between tax paying, productive citizens and the law?

Whom do you think? It isn't hard to figure out. Alinsky's list is quite telling.

To our elders who teach us of our creation and of our past so that we may preserve it for ancestors yet to come*
This is dedicated to our relatives before us, thousands of years ago
And to the 150 million who were exterminated across the Western Hemisphere in the first four hundred year's time, starting in 1492
To those who have kept their homelands
And to the nations extinct due to mass slaughter, slavery, deportation and disease unknown to them
And to the ones who are subjected to the same treatment today
To those who survived the relocations
And those who died along the way
To those who carry on traditions and live strong among their people
To those who left their communities by force or by choice and through generations no longer know who they are
To those who search and never find
To those who turn away the so-called "non-accepted"
To those who bring us together
And to those living outside, keeping touch, the voice for many
To those that make it back to live and fight the struggles of their people
To those that give up
And those who do not care
To those who abuse themselves and others
And those who revive again
To those who are physically, mentally, or spiritually incapable, by accident or by birth
To those who seek strength in our spirituality and way of life
To those who exploit it
– even our own
To those who fall for the lies and join the dividing lines that keep us fighting amongst each other
To the outsiders who step in
– good or bad
And those of us who don't know better
To the leaders and prisoners of war, politics, crime, race and religion
– innocent or guilty
To the young
The old
The living
And the dead
To our brothers and sisters in all living things across Mother Earth and her beauty we've destroyed and denied the honour that the Creator has given each individual:
The truth that lies in our hearts
All my relations

That's not an answer. That's just turning the question back to me.
Let's pretend I have no idea whatsoever, or, that I simply don't think, or don't realize, or don't believe ANYBODY is doing ANY of those things.
Do you not have words or a name for "whom" you think it is?
Pretend I am a 5 year old and/or from outer space.
Not pretend I'm stupid or anything, just pretend, for a moment, that I don't have the same brain as you, with the same thoughts or experiences.
Explain to me. In a sentence or two. Direct, not indirect.
For example, if you think it's King Charles, doing all this, say it's King Charles.
Not some poetic oblique trail of breadcrumbs that invites me to draw my own conclusion, cause I won't.
I'm not trying to be rude or obtuse, but indirectness is one of my pet peeves.
There are lots of reasons for that, too many to go into, but do you mind humoring me?
Please.
WHOM.
Thanks.
