>Jesse some guy tried to overthrow the US government and he isn't in jail. Once you get enough $ meaningful punishment is mostly out of the question here...
If you're talking about Trump, he's possibly the worst example you could pick for your case, as his treatment has nothing to do with his wealth and everything to do with the fact that he is the previous President...
I respect your opinion. But personally feel that his wealth and varied enterprises are exactly how he became president in the first place. The inordinate amount of lies, and propaganda that composed his campaign were treated as valid points of view despite being objectively wrong because there is a culture of wealth worshipping in the US. "If I give the rich guy my vote he will make me prosperous too!" Or "he is wealthy because God has blessed him"(a surprisingly common well documented evangelical belief).
But if ya disagree with that, that's fine. Can take a quick Google search and find hundreds of instances were wealthy people committed serious crimes and received no substantial punishment for doing so compared to their less influential counterparts. I could list some, but I trust you can do that for yourself.
