When you have that much money, there’s not really much society can do to touch you.

We've confronted robber barons before, and then stuff like the Sherman Anti Trust act happened. If we can collectively gain the resolve, society can absolutely touch these motherfuckers. We arguably had even worse politicians back in the late 1800's and early 1900's, and after some serious incidents it became a politically charged enough issue to overhaul Congress and the Senate.
