The upper class have traditionally been exempt from the morality police here. Wealthy people can always get abortions, for example. The wealthy are exempt from being hassled by the morality police in the form of the Christian nationalists in Congress, in state governments, on the friggin' Supreme Court!

A monied class intimidates the major part of the less-monied population from seeking reforms. Gosh, that sure sounds familiar!

That should tell you something about class and power in the United State, shouldn't it though?
