Try as you might you are never going to stop the influence of money and privilege on politicians.  The script from the movie “Platoon” includes this dialogue between two soldiers on work detail discussing the “fairness” of a system that sends the poor kids to war while the rich kids don’t have to go and how one of these soldiers feels everyone should share the burden. The response to the character “Chris Taylor”  from the character “King” describes the reality :  “Shiiit, you gotta be rich in the first place to think like that.  Ever’body know, the poor are always being f***ked over by the rich.  Always have, always will.”
