Don't forget:

Those politicians who are in a position to pass laws with regards to my taxes, income level, and other means of hoarding power? Oh, they're owned by me thanks to legal bribery.

And those other politicians who want to introduce a maximum wage, higher taxes, or anything remotely socialist? Oh, the media outlet/s I own, along with the politicians I've already paid off can easily smear them out of contention.

Both possible because the system is what it does and is designed to encourage these kinds of disparity and inequality, not combat it.
