This is an inevitable (and not uncommon) result of the way we do both business and politics in the US. We keep voting for the officials who not only stand by while this happens but profit from it because...

We all support capitalism. But the flip side of "everyone's got a shot at the American Dream" is those who've made it and want to keep being enriched by it at the cost of others.

It's not right, it's not fair, but it's probably completely kosher.
