As hard as it is to believe, the gov. is on our side. They are the last resort against greed. Maybe consider working for them to change the rules from the inside.

How do you square that people are greedy, but a group of people in power, with the threat of violence, is not.
It is not perfect, but the US is a bit different from other countries, if you bother to look at the data.

Nit: In a democracy, you are the government. We all are. There is no 'them'. They are us.
I know, I know. What I just typed was naive pedantic droll.
But if you really do believe it, then it does become true, kinda. It takes work, a lot of work, very hard work. But votes and service to the community really really do matter.
