Billionaires knowingly perpetuating a harmful economic system for their own gain. Politicians and high-level government officials knowingly perpetuating a harmful political and legal system for their own gain.

How I define harmful in this context: neglecting the needs of the many for the benefit of the few.

Knowingly: repeating an action despite clear evidence or representation from the majority under their control. Or restricting public access to something that is harming them with the intent to continue the harmful behaviour.

Obviously its a little more nuanced than that, but that's the jist.
