That's called a 2nd world country or communism and is exactly what people want to make the US into.

Um, why would anyone want to make the US into a third world country?

The average well meaning person would not want that, at least not intentionally. However, the wealthy elite would prefer it because it means more for them and less for everyone else.

I said 2nd world, not 3rd world, but see @Raver's post. There are lots of people who would cut off their nose to spite their face in the world.

I don't think there's really some mass conspiracy of this sort. I think there's just a lot of ignorant, but well-intentioned people who really believe capitalism is the devil.

The masses are ignorant but the elites actually do feel insecure about causing growth even if they'd actually benefit infinitely more from it (which is also not a conspiracy.)
