If "someone will always have more control", and can hold long-lived power inside a faceless institution, why would they ever choose to give you equal rights and obligations?
Their children, mistress, drinking cronies, and blackmailers deserve those good jobs and scarce resources more than you.
The monopoly on violence makes the agents of the State to be above everybody else and enables them to impose their will to all. There are no incentives for them to seek the well-being of others, but all incentives are to seek only their own benefit. The State – the centralizing entity who has the monopoly on violence – will always design privileges, favor lobbies, endorse vested interest, but above all attracts those who desire power, offers them the power to dominate over others, to control others, to be above others, it's elections select the most unscrupulous, reckless psychopaths – those willing to do whatever it costs to win – and when they get there they receive the power they so desperately desired, they now can control the lives of many who's destinies now depends of their designs, they now are sustained by those they control and are now immune to the consequences of their actions, they are now much sought after by those desiring privileges, those lobbying for their own sake, for they now have the power to grant it, and whatever their hearts desire will not be done with their own money, but with that of their subjects.
