The government, literally the only option left when you take away the rich and poor.

And who will make sure they don't abuse their power? Its basic human nature to be greedy. Who chooses the government? People voting?

Well at the moment that's what we accept and then they set the rules for industry, hardly much added danger in letting them be the industry? More direct rule for the people.

I'm sorry but i really don't understand who is "we" and "they"

How is the government formed? Who makes sure the competent people stay in power and don't abuse their position? Can anyone become the part of the government?
