If anyone believes they don't effectively have immunity then you must believe the Super rich are the only group in the world who never ever commit murder ..cause none of them ever face the music. Or if they do then at rates / 1,000,000 that are at fractions of every other group. In fact, imprisonment rates show that the poorest are the most frequent murderers and as people get richer and richer they murder less and less...until the super rich never murder at all. Not only do they never ever murder, but they don't even get to be charged then acquitted. They never face the judge. They are never embarrassed on the front page of newspapers or on the 6pm news either for their corrupt or otherwise reputation damaging behaviour... despite the fact that they control all the major industries on the planet. Must be because rich people are the most noble and whose behaviour is beyond reproach.
Thinking about it... I just realised something... "Power leads to corruption" must be wrong.
"Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely", must also be a croc of shit.
"Rich people are inevitably tempted more by evil because they know their money can buy influence to keep them out of trouble"
The bible obviously got it wrong too when it said that a rich man, "can not pass through the eye of a needle" or something like that anyway... about a camel and heaven... you get the drift.
The only exceptions to this I can think of are some of the Russian oligarchs who Putin has clamped down on. Here plus with our mates in the US and the Brits... Rupert and Kerry Stokes etc would never want to embarrass their fellow members of the club... and lead to a can of worms.
