I tend to agree with the overall message. That (human) government will always be subject to human foibles, as will capitalism, has been clear to me for a long time. For reasons of practicality, however, I disagree with one idea, which is expressed in the following text:
"[S]houldn’t you be putting massive amounts of resources into creating a totally foolproof way of having real and fair capitalism that isn’t corrupt?"
Assuming that I--the reader--am the "you" being addressed, my answer is "no." Aside from the fact that I don't have massive resources, the pure reality of my world is that I can barely afford to keep hearth and home together; how can I justify diverting even a minuscule amount of what is, allegedly, mine to what would be--if I were to do so acting alone--a completely futile effort? And yes, this is the "fault," if you want to put it that way, of capitalism and the government, both. It also is the fault of all us _you_s who are afraid to commit what resources we might have to a perhaps impossible-to-attain goal. Still, as Benjamin Franklin is reported to have said, "We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately." At this point in time, it seems that we are hanging separately. I wonder what it would take to make us all hang together?
