None of that is his fault. We are all dealt a certain hand in life. Some of us have more advantages than others just by virtue of our birth. Heck, Chelsea Clinton graduated from college and her first job was at a law firm making over six figures. Why did she get that job? Her dad is an ex-President. That's about it. We all get advantages and disadvantages in life. So what. Life isn't fair.
Yep, how many $millions do you spend per year on lobbyist, campaign donations, public relations, accountants, tax lawyers, etc...
In a pure capitalistic model, these expenditures wouldn't be made. The real world there is government, if you like it or not.
The question is who are the leaders going to govern for, you, or the ones that can dispense money. This is how tax loop holes are created, labor unions and competition are destroyed.
Asymmetric power is not fair, which is why humans struggle to make life more fair. In large parts of the world royalty has been disbanded which was the dominant form of government in the not too distant past.
Study reveals human drive for fair play
"Dr Nick Wright, who led the study, explains: "Whether or not fairness is a uniquely human motivation has been a source of controversy. These findings show that humans, unlike even our closest relatives chimpanzees, reject an unfair offer of a primary reward like food or water -- and will do that even when severely thirsty. However, we also show this fairness motivation is traded-off against self-interest, and that this self-interest is not determined by how their objective need for water but instead by their subjective perception of thirst. These findings are interesting for understanding how subjective feelings of fairness and self-interested need impact on everyday decisions, for example in the labour market.""
