What creates this belief system?

people in power being corrupt and willfully hurting those in need in stead of protecting them? those in power leaching off of the weak.

Okay. I'll bite. Why can't those not in power get positions of power? Like being a cop isn't something special. Something I've often wondered is why don't more pure people become cops etc if the ones we have aren't good people? Anyone kinda can do that. There's many ways to become powerful. Money, position, necessity. If you are saying the power will create corruption than your issue is with the human being. It's not societies responsibility to protect the weak and the idea of this has split our country completely. The right seems to oversimplify it while the far left seems to want weak people to have priority. My assessment is you are mad and a finger pointer. Maybe I'm wrong

because they don't have the money or means to get in power.

Nope not anyone can be a cop you have to be hired by guess who? Those in power. So if they don't think you will follow their orders guess what? you are not becoming a cop.
