The book says that the government has to be accountable to the people. The government is, what has to happen is that the people have to be accountable to each other too through hard work, ethics, and fairness. Let supply and demand determine wages, not just say that someone who makes too much should give more. If there is a collusion or white collar crime, address it then. Don't just assume those who make too much have the obligation to give money back..

For All to have dignified living without wars, inequality and all kinds of global, local and personal problems we need a global system that supports All Life Equally. The Equality-based system will require All humans to continuously lose Self-Interest and live according to what is Best For All Equally. There are courses with which a person can support oneself and others in the change. I recommend all to find and study the websites of 'Equal Money System', 'Desteni I Process' and 'Desteni'.
