But here’s the thing: If Wall Streeters are spoiled brats, they are spoiled brats with immense power and wealth at their disposal. And what they’re trying to do with that power and wealth right now is buy themselves not just policies that serve their interests, but immunity from criticism.
Wow, now there's a genius insight. People with power will try to use it, instead of sitting on the sidelines and hoping things go well for them.
Hello, Mr. K, welcome to reality. Glad you finally woke up.
This is the inevitability of power - the human imperative is to struggle to get it, since it represents nothing less than life and death.
This is why the choice to limit government power is the essense of anything good. Government power that is insufficiently limited will be struggled for and won by those who Mr. K thinks have bad intentions.
In Utopia, only good and wise people get control of power, and they do great things with their power like create equality in outcomes without negative unintended consequences. In our world, we will never be so lucky.
