4. Look at the people who vote for these laws that favor the rich.
In the Senate, they're almost all millionaires. In the House, they either are, or they are "aspiring."

'You' or 'I' may not be invited to that exclusive club of which you speak, but those lawmakers sure get an engraved invitation, from lobbyists, from contractors, from insiders, from donors who give nudges and winks. There's gold in them thar hills!

The old "What side is your bread buttered on" thing is happening in the legislature--that's why we have these usurious, unfair laws in the first place.
