Sad that they never learn their lesson and we're all stuck in this cycle of:

Rich person buys power > Makes life a living hell for the people > The people revolt and burn everything down > Rich person (hopefully) gets dragged through the streets and has a public medieval-like execution as an example > Peace with rules in place to prevent that from happening again > People generations later get lax > Another rich prick comes along and exploits the weakness of the system and meekness of the people.

And round and round we go. As they say, "Strong men create times of peace, weak men create times of conflict".
