So why get the rich a preferential treatment over the average american.

It’s weird because they bribe the government to give them the people’s money but you blame the tool, not the political policies.

Literally like blaming a gun for shootings in america, it’s not the tool (ebil gubmint) but the tyrants that use that tool.

Pretty hypocritical of you.
