Its not like the country was a communist paradise and the people said "screw this, lets let the elites control things."
The elites have controlled things FOREVER. We managed to wrestle a some political control from them. We have yet to wrestle much economic control from them.
But you cant fault the people for not yet transcending thier humanity. It takes alot of education and thought to be able to analyze our complex society rationally and recognize what is really going on. Alot more than you can just expect of people.
