it’s not an excuse to go “over the law” just because you think the law is bad.... but still, just because you don’t agree with the existing law, it doesn’t mean you should “work” around it.

Then what's a good reason to go around the law? It'd be pointless to go around a law you do agree with.

“Vote with your wallet” means more money gets you more votes.

This is the basic idea of capitalism. The more capital you have, the more say you have in directing the meas of production.

Some people have so much capital, they can singlehandedly decide that thousands of people are going to work on some space launch company, for example.
