The worst part is that most people probably figure stuff like this is already happening, so we become cynical, when we find out its true our outrage is used up, then we see our powerlessness and realize that our leaders are probably in on the game already.

Hate the game, not the player.
We're not powerless, but trying to create a Perfect System out of such crooked timber as Man may be utterly futile. To think you can design such a system looks like Hubris to me.
That's probably more Stoic than Cynical.
"They can take my silver or take my lead" said Pablo Escobar ( paraphrased ). It's like that.
Yeah we're operating at a level never before seen in sociology. It's inevitable we'll have some hiccups and bumps along the way before we reach a system that uniformly benefits everyone. And even then, the ability for such a system to exist is debated.
