It could be argued that the reason governments are “inefficient systems” (particularly in the US) is in large part due to the same people making ridiculous amounts of money. So while you’re being sarcastic, and probably believe that you too “can make it” don’t be surprised when you don’t, and when the government becomes even less efficient because private interests keep using their wealth to strip it of anything useful to regular people.
- daenz 5y agoThe government is elected to represent the interests of the people. They bear the overwhelming responsibility for any corrupt deals made with "people making ridiculous amounts of money." It sounds like you're to assign blame to a business person for buying influence, instead of blaming the politician for selling it in the first place! If politicians stop selling influence, there is nothing to buy.
