    Because holding famous, rich important people accountable for their actions would jeopardize the system. It needs that lack of accountability to function.

      Because holding famous, rich important people accountable for their actions would jeopardize the system. It needs that lack of accountability to function in a way that only benefits the wealthy.

      I changed that a little. I think capitalism is pretty shitty, but it could do better for many people if the United States government stopped letting rich people bend and often outright break the law.
