It isn't just a capture of the justice machine by the wealthy, though I agree this is the case too. It is also an issue with the government, courts, and the laws themselves. How is a citizen supposed to petition the government over injustices and grievances, and be dealt with fairly according to the law, when the government itself sets the financial barriers to entry so high? How can a poor person get justice when the courts are set up to favor lawyers over citizens? You can represent yourself in court, of course, but any mistakes you make in not filing the right form here or declaring the right motion there will most likely result in a huge injustice being done by the courts, simply because you, as an average citizen, don't know how to navigate all the legal minutia.

Have the wealthy really captured the courts, or have the government, judges, and lawyers set up a situation in which only the rich get justice?
