We don't make the rules. They do.

If sensible people made the rules the financial industry would be stable and boring, inequality would be far lower than it is, prosperity would be far wider, and life would generally be more pleasant and financially successful - not just for a small cadre of middle class programmers, but for everyone.

I'm not quite sure what your point is. We ask exactly that question to voters at each election.
