Aaah - but the government doesn't run the show, and never has. Consciousness is after the fact, not before it.

Like the President of Your United States, consciousness knows only a very small amount of what is going on in 'government' because at each stage up the chain from field to White House, people are collecting, collating, analyzing, filtering, discarding and passing up data in the form of recommendations for action. The President may get two recommendations: it's not hard to be 50% right. That's why clowns can be Presidents. They are not really needed - except to accept and convey the decision to 'non-government'.

President of the State of Mind: "I've decided to have a cup of tea."

So the fact that wealth/influence/power is gradually migrating to a small (miniscule) percentage of the population is the result of ... happenstance ... the will of GOD ... good genes ... how does that work if the govt. and its cohorts aren't orchestrating things?  Or is it simply we get the govt. we deserve?  What did I do to deserve this, except coming to this out-in-the-boonies planet of course?

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

I think we get the government we deserve - collectively.
