Sadly, it seems that human nature will continue to pursue and employ advantage.
You and I may be well pleased to satisfy our needs, and even take occasional liberty...
But there remain those that will attempt to take more than is needed, so others will serve them.
Call them Royalty or Tycoons or Tyrants...they are everywhere there is something of value to be had.
They make promises - "Why risk your & your family's future? Come serve with your fellow laborers...together, and ensure prosperity for all."
That was their promise.
It failed, because they were not held accountable to their promises.
They took yours and mine and ours and paid politicians to write laws to let them keep it all...and keep taking it all.
Sorry for the sad face.
I agree with your frustration.
I just don't see the solution as simple as "I'll play nice if you play nice."
