"So we always hear the plutocracy complaining."

"plutocracy"
Government by the wealthy. Not that anybody living in America needs to be told that definition.
The greatest lie our plutocracy ever told was that anybody can become a plutocrat. I mean, yes, anybody can. But only by accident (lottery), inheritance (almost certainly based on wealth achieved through unethical means, probably slavery), or illicitly (this is how most people get theirs. And I don't mean to suggest "illicit" means simply "illegal." More like against custom or norms or ethical behaviors). Plutocrats steal wealth from millions of people and then convince those people that they're benevolent linchpins in the economic frame of our country, providing jobs and investments. But they're really just leeches and parasites and pricks.
