I wasn't trying to obfuscate anything - I was just trying to get across
the general idea that society runs on laws, and people can change the
laws. I followed that by giving one example: the idea of wealth caps.
I was trying to sum up reams of ideas in one sentence because I didn't
want to open a barrel of worms about how best to change the laws to
make the world a better place. And I still don't.

I'm confused about the reference to Hitler - are you suggesting that
people who would like to work democratically to change and create laws
are comparable to Hitler? On second thought, don't answer that. I'm
sure that's not what you meant, and I don't really care what you did
mean.
