Yes.
(Note: I'm rich and powerful.)
Haha. Actually, your second question answered the first. Your question implies that the rich and powerful got that way by lying to all in their path. (Not always the case, but certainly the case in some instances.) Those people would depend on the "masses" -- suckers, lemmings, the naive, followers, whomever -- to buy what they're selling in enough quantities to keep them rich and/or inpower. And they are wise enough and have enough resources to constantly devise ways to continue this cycle. It is up to the masses to break the cycle. Whether it's politics (hmmm, Bush?) or business (hmmmm, Gates). Stop voting someone in. Stop buying someone's products. No more power, no more riches.

Isn't that like asking the question; will the poor and impoverished ever stop stealing and doing drugs and get a job. It's a broad generalization that I think holds little merit. Are there rich and powerful people who lie? I'm sure there are but there are also very honest good intention people in this same category.

Rich and powerful, where they born rich and powerful? They may have been born to the rich and powerful. That is all. They all , still, crawled like you and me, cried for food like you and me and were vulnerable like all.
As they grew and started thinking for themselves they were aware of a protection that SOMEONE ELSE was giving to them and slowly they assumed that that can get away with anything.
It is innate fear of their vulnerability that make the rich "protect" themselves constantly, even if they have to take to the wrong side. If the law takes its strong hand they would not. Remember Enron chief, remember Martha stueward, they all have learnt that they cannot get away with anything.
Why? You, too, are rich compared to many million others in Africa India, Mexico. What do you do?

When the masses wake up and see what's happening they won't continue to give their power to the rich and powerful. Those in power want to keep their power so they manipulate the masses to keep them controlled, poor and ignorant. The masses won't stay ignorant forever and so won't give their power to the controllers forever.

What? And give up their stock in trade? Never! Lies are the fences and the rich and powerful control the gates. They are then allowed to move the masses to the slaughter.
