That is really dystopian stuff. Instead of electing goverment that would split monopoly, we will blame low level employees for not "resisting". Be quiet and toe the party line!!
In a government elected by the people, the people can't absolve themselves of guilt when they're willingly voting for corrupt officials.
In governments without elected representatives, the responsibility lies entirely with the people enforcing the oppression against those weaker than them and protecting those above.
So yeah. People happily enforcing a massive wealth divide are responsible. They just don't want to accept personal responsibility because their pockets are fat. And I highly doubt they're out on the streets demanding reform to close the wealth gap and risk bringing their pay down so that those warehouse workers can live better.

it can be said, that increasingly its representatives that are choosing (gerrymandering) thier constituents instead of the other way around, and many districts are not competitive at all (e.g no alternative candidates)
