Answer 5

Seems like a pretty loaded question to me.

Many alcoholics and drug addicts simply cannot manage their own affairs.  Putting them in an institution where they can get help is simply humane, leaving them be would be the opposite.

On the other hand, jailing them simply due to their status as drug abusers is probably counterproductive.  It wastes jail space for people who really need to be in jail.

And who are the "medical elite"?  The best doctors?  Insurance companies?  Pharmaceutical companies?  Some of these people do tremendous good.  Those who don't are no better or worse than anyone else (unless they do something illegal or unethical, in which case they'll probably end up in court anyway).

Not all leaders are corrupt.  The ones that are sometimes are very clever about concealing their corruption...it's not easy to bust a good cheat.  When they do get caught, they get to go to jail, too.  There are former congressmen in jail...isn't that good enough for you?

And who is "Murder Inc."?  There's no monolithic organization that I'm aware of orchestrating a campaign of corruption and control.  A lot of little evils can add up, and even good men can do a little evil.  Open your eyes, you don't need a conspiracy to explain every little problem with society.
