I'm not really shocked, I am disgusted by the sheer selfish and crass behaviour of these people.
what also disgusts me is that so many citizens who still have enough freedom and means to get mad and get even, don't react.
the idea of the government is of course to take all the money, become stronger and more powerful... while weakening the economy for the citizens, so that ONE DAY they will not have the power, time, energy, freedom to react.
