I don't believe inaction is the same as action.
Both action and inaction are you choosing to act in one manner or the other. It does require an active act of choosing (out of all of the available opportunities at any given time) on your part to not to act.
The classic example being of course that of a drowning child. If one was to see a child drowning and one would choose not to act (possibly against their impulse to act), then one would have effectively caused the death of that child.
Even if inaction was not of the same moral graveness as an active immoral deed, the difference between the two would still not be great.

To bad humans are not improving morally and the greedy / corupt side will always over power the morally responsible in the over all picture no matter what political or economic system is in place..
That's what tyranny is for.
