Don't underestimate how much you don't see. Millionaires fly without even seeing border security, meanwhile every other person spends hours waiting in line. It may not be beatings in the street but there are many laws that simply don't apply when you're rich enough.

For clarity, you're saying that it's possible to arrive in -- for example -- the UK without being subject to immigration or border controls?

If you're merely pointing out that it's possible to receive much speedier service with money, then yes, there are a wealth of commercially available options operated by airports, private and public alike. That's hardly evidence of corruption.


You ever see the president get a pat down when he returns from over seas?


I'm as much in favor of equal application of laws as anyone else, but please explain how wasting the President's time would help anyone else one iota?


This is an extreme example, but I do think that having lawmakers out through the same process as the plebs would lead to better laws.


Johnny Depp would disagree with you that the laws simply don't apply:

Remember that this was only notable because the laws did apply.
