That's fine, you can pass down power. The issue is people without wealth and connections throwing punches at those with wealth and connections and those people not being given the full ability to strike back like they could in the past. Because we now have a mob rule mentality where people follow morals instead of authority and that's the fundamental problem. Because those in authority no longer get the full benefit of being in authority.

So you are mad because those in power are held accountable for their actions and the poor and downtrodden have a voice to challenge them?

This is just bizarre.

Some of those people worked decades, even a lifetime to get themselves in to positions of power and to sometimes take advantage of that over others. And in the past that was fair game, even applauded in society. Now they find themselves being "held accountable" as you put it for something that was acceptable in the past and for which they worked their whole lives. If we had a culture change and for example we said anybody under 50 was expected to behave a certain way going forward, but those already over 50 would not be held to the same account then I think that would be fair - a new standard for the future, but respect for the past. Because some of those over 50 were operating their entire lives on the assumption that they could live a "mad men" lifestyle without accountability, which indeed the case when they were coming up.
