The power is in the hands of a few people obsessed or possessed. Gambling addiction, narcissism, power hunger.

Taxation will not solve this before the global society collapses so the question is whether we figure out a way to level the power.

This is not evil, but a trait of human nature of corruption or addiction to power.

Taxation can and must solve it before "society collapses". And many people are working to solve the problem. It is difficult and requires effort but nothing that has not been done before. We got rid of king (by the will of god) in the past so techno-power-hungry cringey businessmen should be easier.

Yeah it’s ’more more more’. Seems a very nature based behaviour. We need a restraint or predator to slow us off!
