Syl, It is one big game of cops-and-robbers! We make the money, and they try to figure out how to get it away from us! It ain't the system, it's human nature at work. No question, affluence corrupts! Add to that the socialistic (and altruistic?) shifting of wealth from the producers of that wealth (who use it to create more wealth) to the consumers of that wealth (who simply use it), and there goes the future.
Capitalism may not be fair and just to all, but it's the best thing going right now.
