Poor and working class people get financial literacy courses and lectured on personal responsibility. We often go into some sort of debtors prison just to get by. Rich people get special bankruptcy laws, bailed out of failed businesses, and use our tax dollars as their safety net
Look at the payday loan industry and tell me that is not modern day debtors prison. Look at the amount of fines and fees that get put on poor people that they have to pay or they lose their drivers license, or they lose their job which further puts them into debt.
The game is rigged against poor and working class people. The ways rich people get over, on this corrupt system would blow your mind. They often face little to no repercussions for their actions, so they keep doing it. https://www.salon.com/2011/11/09/how_the_rich_rig_the_system/
Y’all think Beverly Hills is ever going to have a lead water problem like Flint Michigan? Do you think the roads on Rodeo Drive is going to be filled with potholes and sinkholes? Hell no. Because they make sure it never does at the expense of the rest of us. EAT THE RICH!
