So it's everyone's fault but... I don't get it. The system is a ponzi scheme. It was bound to have issues while benefiting the early players. Why not admit that

  Because once you're invested in a Ponzi, you lose it all when it crumbles. It will, ineluctably, but if you can push the date further, then maybe you can get away with it. To postpone its fate, they'll advocate for a harsher taxation of their neighbor and the business next door so they can profit from them the most ("I know they have money, while I'm so poor you know..."). They also need newcomers in the pyramid, so they advocate for more recruits. Then they will call that "solidarity" so they don't have to face their short-term, greedy mindset, the same they blame others for.
