Good article here. Bottom line: keep us so busy trying to eat and pay the rent that we just don't have the time or motivation to challenge the corrupt system. A brief excerpt follows. See the article for much more.
"The answer clearly isn’t economic: it’s moral and political. The ruling
class has figured out that a happy and productive population with free
time on their hands is a mortal danger (think of what started to happen
when this even began to be approximated in the ‘60s). And, on the other hand, the feeling that work is a moral value in
itself, and that anyone not willing to submit themselves to some kind of
intense work discipline for most of their waking hours deserves
nothing, is extraordinarily convenient for them."
