So it seems that when people get rich, they don't care about anything other than preserving and enlarging their wealth. Morality? Nah. Fuck that shit with a stick. Wealth always takes the side of power. The greater the power, the more the wealthy admire and suck up to it. The nuances of morality are irrelevant. Don't need the rule of law, either. Just power. Backed up with the biggest private sector-driven military capability possible. "The people" are nothing more than a consumer market base. To make sure they don't get out of line, the election process has been rigged to ensure the most powerful and wealthy are never exposed to risk or loss. And if we have to, we can shoot a few of "the people" to keep them in line. Kill a chicken to frighten the monkeys. That kind of thing.
