But it's no surprise. How many examples are there of people giving up power voluntarily?

It's a bug in capitalism - it doesn't so much reward the best ideas as the most sociopathic behavior. Compassionate people don't get rich. Being rich curdles the milk of human kindness.

Those who believe they would be better off if they feed and house the poor don't get rich.

The essence of capitalism is it finds where the money is. It's why for-profit prisons are one of the worst ideas ever. If keeping people locked up is profitable, we don't need to analyze it. What we KNOW is capitalism will create ways to lock up more people, because that's how it works. That's its greatest strength and greatest weakness. - harnessing our worst impulses.
