The current system is a reality we have to live with, until it is no longer a reality, or we are no longer alive. Personally, I don't have a problem with it. If the people wanted a different system, one would think they'd boycott the present one and it would have to downsize itself in favor of what the people want.
Some might argue that there is a striking parallel here to the Morlocks and the Eloi in HG Wells' novel "The Time Machine". It was made into a movie in 1960 - if you haven't seen it, I'd bet its on youtube.
