"The idea is to keep people in their places so that nobody thinks they're better than someone else. Who could argue with the truth of that? "

I think it's more akin to a group of people trying to decide where to eat. It is not as efficient to allow each person some measure of input in the short term, but it pays off in the long run by allowing each a say and thus avoiding conflict in the future. I think your statement is more a by product than an intent of govt. After all, we created it.

Some people certainly abuse the system, but that is the fault of the individual not the group. And there is no way you will suddenly turn people into altruistic souls overnight. But don't confuse the short comings of the individuals with the possible abuses of the group system.
