Rich people took over the government. Then they proceeded to break the government to make themselves richer. They chose to make themselves richer by taking from those without. They took their unions, consumer protections, rights in court, cut social programs, pensions, and so much more.
But this is America. You get to be a rugged individual and fight corporations worth 100’s of Billions all by yourself.
edit - whoops, wrong billionaires image. This is the one I meant to use!
Rich have always had control over the government. They didn't break anything. They shored up the defenses of their systemic power after a brief period of working class revolt during the early-to-mid 90s that forced them to make concessions in favor of workers.
Obligatory bad religion.
