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.

It's obvious there is little room for discussion between us as we apparently live in entirely different worlds.
Employees are not owned by companies.
PACs can not legally buy off politicians.
Laws are not written to unequally punish the "lower class" and there are countless cases of the rich being charged and going to prison.
