Remember, the government officials get offered bribes of power, votes and money because they can legally use force to make us comply. Are you saying that if someone offers your bribes to do something that you don't have the power of will to make a choice as to whether you are going to take it or not? You think these corrupt government officials are just "powerless" to say no to every bribe that comes their way?
If that is your contention, then it's an even stronger arguement for taking power over the free market out of their hands, since they obviously can't be trusted with it.

To the inevitable bottom line. Make money at all costs, even at the cost of your own country, your own world. He is saying this to a miniscule part of the population and he knows it.
Taking regulatory power out of the government's hands and into the hands of these people is like a serial killer giving a black baby to the KKK.
Right now they are one in the same, and this should be of great concern to everyone.
This is what these protestors are on about. There is no "redress of grievances" anymore.
They are taking it to the streets.
