is this one way the ego attacks & destroys us? ['export' badness & 'import' goodness]?

Question

some ppl think like this: we have rule of law, happiness, peace, order, wealth, other nations hav corrupt govts, protected elites, centralised planning, poverty, misery
does the ego make us unreal, & therefore miserable by such tricks? [realism is an absolutely essential requirement for happiness/ wellbeing/ quality of life]
when the founding fathers outlawed entail & primogeniture to limit fortunes, prevent wealth concentration, to prevent tyranny destroying the republic, was that centralised planning? when lawyers use rule of law made by govt lawmakers, is that not centralised planning? what is govt & law but centralised planning?
we dont have protected elites, corrupt govts?
laws are like spiders webs, they catch the little but the big break thru - to have rule of law, you have to limit 'size' of individuals to prevent breaking thru - a 1950s senate committee said big business was bigger than govt - yr govt hav not been usurped by 'the great'? you can control monopoly?

Answer 1

Yes indeed!!!

In the 1700s the rich land owners ran fences round the common land, depriving the poor of use of it. The saying became "you hang a man for stealing sheep from the common, but you give a peerage to a man for stealing the common from the sheep".

Show me a society where the rich and powerful do not write the laws.
