Life of a nation is a constant conflict between two opposing forces. One force consists of those business interests who are motivated by monetary gain and maybe a general idea of what they want is also good for the nation as a whole. This force is never ending and constantly renewed with new believers in private gain. There will always be a force of this nature and it requires no new motivation to exist or keep active.
The other force is composed of those who believe a policy is wrong or unethical on moral grounds so they organize to oppose it. This force needs constant re-birth as the causes or evils change and people lose interest or die away. There is not an immediate supply of believers. This force will be plagued by the reality that most people will get worn down by the scale of their opposition, will just say "what the hell" give up and go home. They cannot possibly present a organized consistent opposition to the force of business interests-especially when those interests control government policy.
