Right, max/median net worth is about 1000000:1, there is lots of room between 1000000:1 and 1:1. The problem is that for the people on the 1000000 end of the spectrum, the same mechanics that encourage investment in productive activities also encourage investment in corruption, as they make no distinction between the two. With hundreds of billions in present-value-of-future-cash-flows at stake, almost any expenditure is justified. The laws of economics say that for you lobbying is a hobby, but for them it's a job with ROI (a whole office full of jobs, in fact). That's a steep advantage to overcome, but we've done it before and we'll do it again. |
