They try to hide it. They lash out. They cheat.
They are petty. But vicious when frightened.
Most of the successes they have obtained throughout their lives have been gained by cheating, using inside information, rigging the game, exercising influence, position, and privilege.
They twist the fabric of society to weave their robes.
They make and break the rules to suit themselves and their friends.
They make our markets into bucket shops. Our laws are just pieces of paper.
