The billionaires who make obscene profits from Big Pharma spend 100s of millions of dollars buying the politicians and it obviously works, or else they wouldn't be spending the millions. Then they turn around and say, "government is the problem" - and they need to be taxed less, and less regulations on their rapacious private corporations. What a racket eh?
The corruption of Congress i.e. the so-called leadership of our society, then like a cancer spreads into society itself. And this corruption has been ongoing now for decades, where laws and rules and the Constitution itself are routinely ignored in the pursuit of mostly more profit being funneled to a relatively few individuals (such as Elon Musk) - at the expense of all the rest of the society, who no longer benefits "fairly" from the fruits of a free society. Egregious wealth Inequality really is the basis of the current demise of the US. It's not "government" - government is just a mechanism, a tool - that the wealthy have taken over in a way that should never have been allowed to happen (why we had a Constitution and a 3 tier government system of checks and balances in the first place).

And there you've provided the linchpin: none of this would be happening if not permitted by the Congress.
