No, this is the inevitable conclusion of capitalism: the capture of government by private interests.

That’s the conclusion of libertarianism and incomplete Austrian economics (before Hayek realized his ideas as a younger man were bullshit).

The conclusion of capitalism is more or less a highly productive workforce that gets plenty of leisure time, amenities and financial safety nets provided by the state through pooled capital. Oh, and most taxes are levied against the value of land, not income.
