Good point.  Who would you rather see gain rapid wealth?  A few random people from all walks of life who saw potential in a new and exciting technology?   Or a few guys who were skillful enough to be born in an ivy league family which yielded a shot at becoming a banking executive?

Another point, (last one i promise :-) you and i cannot participate in the revolving door between high finance, government office and private contracting.  This is the real evil that allows the regulated to suddenly become regulators.  Such bull sh@t needs to end.  No better way than to over the long term marginalize this entire corrupt sector of human activity.
