So you can see that “as long as the evils are sufferable” folks will allow “those who profit from plunder” to justify their behavior, the wealthy will get even wealthier. It is inevitable. If the dumbest among us can figure out how to subvert regulation to their own benefit why should we be surprised that those with more money will accomadate any new regulation and make even more money.
So it is a mathematical certainty that any effort to reform is doomed to failure.
It depends on what you are reforming.
Cutting taxes is a reform. It’s good.
Some of the rich are evil, but they can’t help sparking the economy. The result is not entirely evil. In fact, it can be downright good.
If you look at Soros for instance, the man is certifiable evil incarnate, but as he spreads his money to do evil, that many hits the marketplace and the economy is sparked off his wealth. The man can’t help energizing the economy.
Now his minions are also evil, and they will cause trouble, but we don’t have to allow it.
We put an end to their madness by standing up to them.
All along the way, Soros money keeps on working it’s magic as it gets spent and the multiplier effect comes into play.
