political favors: PACs
legal charges: unnecessary since wealthy people are less likely to be charged in the first place; the laws are written to penalize actions of the lower class moreso than the actions of the wealthy; finally, when all else fails, the more money one has the better attorneys he or she can buy = acquittal.
These are the inconsistencies that I am referring to that undermine our system as a whole and decrease its legitimacy. Either be consitent or restructure the economic and value system.
