That's right.  We, the People, subsidize our own slavery, by subsidizing the rich.  How does that happen?  Corrupt politicians.  If we had politicians with moral backbone - the 1% would be held in check, by LAW.  It's the massive, egregious, in-your-face corruption, in the District of Corruption, that is the problem.  It's the side-stepping of LAW, that is the problem.
