It's important to initially understand how the financial market keeps the rich in that position, with constant growth of their capital, and does the opposite with workers, because there isn't the same readjustment mechanism for both. The financial superiority of one side ends up making the government work more for one side than the other. The institution that should think about the whole ends up thinking about the minority…

The Rich Gets Richer
I believe many have already heard one of the following phrases: "The Rich Gets Richer" or "Money makes Money." And they couldn't be more true in the capitalist world we live in, dominated by the capital market. On one hand, the wealthy possess various mechanisms that ensure their capital continues to grow above inflation levels, perpetuating the accumulation of more capital by the economically privileged classes and maintaining their power.
The first privilege is that their investments yield monthly returns above inflation, providing real returns of a few percent. The other is directly related to this: the use of interest to their advantage. Each passing month, the return is added to the capital amount, allowing them to earn even more the following month.
For the less fortunate, however, interest ends up working entirely against them. The reason for this begins with salaries; since they are not adjusted monthly, families end up paying more for basic necessities, and because the money is not adjusted, there is often not enough to pay the monthly bills, forcing them to take out loans at very high interest rates. While the wealthy see positive returns, workers wait an entire year for a salary adjustment, but product prices increase monthly, so until the next adjustment, the worker suffers, being able to consume less and less each month.
Money controls the String
As mentioned, the wealthy have a natural tendency to become wealthier, and the less fortunate a tendency towards stability or decline. It takes a great deal of effort for workers to achieve a better condition because they are fighting against interest rates.
On one side, a positive cycle, and on the other, a negative cycle. What is the relationship with governments? While workers spend most of their time working to guarantee their livelihood, the rich seek ways to protect their assets and, to do so, seek government support through corruption, lobbying, and money. And since the rest of the population doesn't have time to follow and exert pressure, the laws and changes that should protect and benefit the general population end up tending to favor one side. One solution would be to simplify, so that more people can follow and understand, without technical terms that end up being another barrier.
