I think both. We need our politicians to be a class of abrogation, servants of the people with open book lifestyles and finances. We need a system of government that facilitates economics as a tenant, because ultimately these are the fundamental premises that govern our society. Regulation cannot usurp natural law. Use incentives and taxation to promote and retard the growth of any social behavior. Keep laws and regulations simple and to an absolute minimum. These things for starters. I’m just a blue collar simpleton. Avarice is the only plausible explanation for why the people involved in our governments preserve the system as it is IMO.
