I believe initially the system was set up with good intent. However, once the people at the top, ( lawyers, politicians etc.), got a taste of $and quickly became corrupted. It's to the point in the U.S. that the biggest criminals here are unfortunately the people running the country.With one hand they open the door to terrorists and they try to take up our guns with the other. Just another one of many examples. Look at what is able to run for president!
