Yeah I recall half the issue being that Gotham is so corrupt, any money is going to be wasted, which is why the Wayne family has to have its own charities to accomplish anythign at all.
I agree with you in the realm of reality. But I think thats why they tried to bring the idea that “some people just want to watch the world burn” to the forefront with Joker. If he wanted to redistribute the wealth to have a better society he wouldn’t burn it all, or he’d use it to counter anti social program rhetoric or something. Try to make some kind of change, but he doesn’t want change, he wants the wealth gap. The bigger the gap, the more desperate the people who he can manipulate into causing more crime and chaos.
Some people just want to watch the world burn is good cause not to deal with such people. The mafia / crime syndicate in an effort to get to Batman hired Joker as a Guy of Gisborne to Batman’s Robin Hood, only they got more than they bargained for.
Considering our billionaires hired Trump to keep their taxes low and are now dealing with a tanking economy, this seems to be the kind of play that tracks IRL. Especially since now Trump is lame duck and Miller, Vought and Thiel/Vance (Mandate, Marbro Man and Lifepod might be their villain names) are now vying for power while Trump is still alive.
If the system allows it, someone will have that lack of integrity you speak of to fill that hole.
The system’s the issue and money helps to gather power in a capitalistic system.

Atleast in reality, a lot of the time corruption happens is because people don’t get paid enough to have the luxury of principles/integrity.
So it’s a case of self fulfilling prophecy

Fair point, but that’s also why every branch of government also needs to be beholden to another which did not sign them in the first place.
The fact that they are assigned for life is a glaring potential for abuse.
Also every person in every governmental position from county to federal needs a no confidence/recall method.

Heck, this would make a great comic book.
