I had never said anything about government assistance. I personally do not believe in handouts. However, I do believe all who are willing to work hard, should not be held back because of their social status, be it because of their lack wealth or contacts. They should be given a chance to succeed in life. What should be offered isn't a lifeline, but a opportunity.
For the rich, governance isn't a business. If the rich get too powerful, to the extent that they are untouchable even by law, would be terrible for society as it would breed corruption within the government. Just look at China, where corruption scandals are regularly uncovered, or America, where celebs get minimal sentences for crimes.

Ultimately, there is no right or wrong answer to the proper way of governance. Each way of governing has its pros and con's, but ultimately, the governing system will turn out as what the people vote for. So if Trump gets voted, and he starts WW3 by calling all Muslims to be executed, it just happens.

Not all powerful governments are corrupt. It is ultimately up to the people to decide who comes into power, and to ensure the ones in power don't abuse their position.

You have to much faith in humans. Everyone is looking for that next big paycheck.

Not everyone thinks that way. Change will come when enough people both voice their opinion, and take action against corruption.

Everyone has there price. Even you do

Suggested Reading: Allegory of the Cave by Plato Not everyone can be bought with money through out human history brave men and women have fought for what they believe in despite the personal costs. If everyone was as you say we would all be staring at the wall still.

Not everyone can be bought. Some things are worth more than monetary gain. Being pessimistic will not get anyone anywhere, and it certainly won't bring about the change anybody wants. However, it will not suffice to be just optimistic either. Change will still ultimately come from action, and it is up to the people to carve their path.
