Very much like most republics, where everything is driven by money and those who own it.

Exactly that's the elites, even Collie is turning, which will be amazing if it happens.
Those at the bottom of the food chain dont have much to give, so they are scared of losing what they have, those at the top of the food chain can feel better about themselves by throwing morsels and feeling smug and benevolent. It would be so much more believable if those at the top of the food chain actually donated houses to those at the bottom, that would work, rather than tax deductable contributions, shareholder contributions and glib statements.
Human nature.
