Sure life is easier for the rich.

We live in a society where traditional morality is dismissed as unnecessary and stifling. Go ahead and experiment with drugs, maybe you'll "grow", expand your mind, be more creative. Promiscuous sex is just a lifestyle choice. Petty crime is no big deal. Movies and tv glorify bad behavior too often. But traditional morality should be viewed as guardrails keeping people safe. When the guardrails are disregarded and people run off the good path in life, getting arrested, bearing children they can't care for, wrecking theif life and that of their families ... it is much easier on the rich. A member of a family like the Kennedy's or Trumps can tell judges they're going to rehab, hire better lawyers to get them off entirely, pay for abortions, hire people to make their problems go away, ......

Life isn't fair. But encouraging non-rich people to disregard morality does real this wordly harm to them.
