The politicians will never bite the hand that feeds. The mega rich both write the laws and benefit from them, this does not excuse the behavior morally, only makes it legal on paper (which, apparently is enough for some of you).



But who is at fault here then? You can blame the wealthy all you want, but it would not be possible without the cooperation of politicians that are elected by the people.


Both parties are at fault, obviously. They are collaborators in a corrupt system which ordinary citizens do not have access to.


> elected by the people

Elections lie on a spectrum from fair to sham, and the greater the influence of the powerful, the more it resembles a sham.
