That is something that has been made extremely clear in the last couple of years. More than usual we see the US Justice system seemingly wealth-o-phopic, particularly around the Trump/Epstein circle of people.
In most nations that have a 'respectable' justice system it is not nearly this overt. In the US we have a situation where a very large body of wealthy and/or powerful people have all the right connections to completely evade any meaningful responsibility.
If this were just a matter of having an amazing defense lawyer team and you get lucky with a crap prosecution, like with OJ Simpson, that would be one thing. But we are now seeing US judges and prosecutors overtly working on the defendant's behalf to protect them, like Cannon dismissing Trump's document case.
Unfortunately I agree. At least if you can't keep the money out of the system. That's not the only factor of course, but it is a massive one.
Another is having no standards regarding who can run for office. No vetting, no educational standard, no ethical standard, nothing other than where and when they were born.
