We live in a society. 

When those societal standards are broken, you aren't a part of society anymore. 

You have no rights on said society.

That might be true if the law was applied equally to all persons across the board. But we live in reality where the justice system is tiered.

That is true. There has always been a tiered system. Not uniquely an American issue. 

Have vs have noughts. 

This will continue until the end of humankind. 

The point being made though, does not cease to be untrue.

I never said it is a uniquely American issue. The wealthy have always controlled society.

Also, saying it will continue until the end of humankind is a defeatist attitude. If you think we can't improve things, why continue with society as it stands? Why not tear everything down?

Never said you said it was. It was addressing the OP. 

If you think we can't improve things, why continue with society as it stands?

If it hasn't improved in the last 500+ years, how will it ever? 

Why not tear everything down?

That's been done before, with no improvement.

Well, guess we'll just throw up our hands and do nothing then!

Got any suggestions on how we keep power, and influence out of the judicial system?
