Doesn't quite answer the question about
deserving to fail.
It's a simplified question, admittedly.
I just wonder if the citizenry deserves the hell you want visited upon them.
Jews sowed. They reap. Lots of money and influence.
Do they deserve the wealth and power?
So, "sowing and reaping" as an answer really can't say it's deserved or not.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
