DesertRat: I agree with what you say and would like to make two additional points:
1) Big corporations don't care about fairness. They care about making money. If they can sell useless gadgets such as polygraphs for big bucks, they make money. It's a scam, but that's how our system works.
2) The inherent problem here is that democracy allows stupid people to have equal input and so we wind up with morons (such as the guy featured in this video) being elected into office. The morons who voted for him are incapable of critical thinking. They feel or emote and that's how they make their decisions. If it feels good, then it must be good. And so this guy speaks emotionally (ignoring the facts presented to him by the commentator) and talks about "doing something" and that's all he has to do. The people who vote for him are just too damn plain stupid to figure out that there is a fundamental flaw in what he says. This puts the burden on intelligent people to educate the morons, but most of us have neither the time nor the patience for such a task!
