Poor citizens plumbing

The economic crimes committed by those in position of power in this country are so grave that one day, there are a number of them who, it would be better to shoot first and ask questions later.
When those in a country's leadership own banks, agricultural businesses, construction companies, transport, power, health and education sectors is this not new form of slavery to the citizens? They own everything and we are told to train our children to become plumbers, potters, carpenters and tailors.
