The world is broken =(

Almost Everybody is addicted to money...

Money lets us tell other people what to do, regardless of whether it is good or bad (and it's usually the latter)

There is also a select few, being so ludicrously rich, that becoming richer is almost impossible... For them there is only one option; in order to become even richer and more powerful, they must drive the rest of the world into poverty...

Enter the global financial crisis, etc etc...

But seriously, you can't elect just one person and not expect them to make mistakes... they might delegate a bit, but not nearly enough...
it's pretty-much impossible for one person to know everything that everyone could know, let alone make decisions which reflect (at least most of) what everyone wants..

...Maybe the bible is right, and man will never be able to rule over himself fairly.. But isn't it even worth accepting this as a challenge, rather than just a fact? almost Certainly we need a new approach to start with..
