Where ever there is power or money, there will be people doing everything they can to get it for themselves. Just look at politics.
The President is not omnipotent. Congress is at least as responsible for what does or does not happen.
By the time an issue reaches the political level, it is not simple and will not have a simple solution.
The higher the political level a problem rises to, the more complex the problem and the solution are.
The easy solutions are usually not the best solutions.
The laws we live by (secular and religious) should be the 'low bar' of our personal moral aspirations.
