In The Corporate Welfare State, George Monbiot discusses the state of government and policy in the United Kingdom, in particular the inequality that exists in the way that the rich (the 1%) are treated in contrast with the poor (the 99%.) His conclusion is nigh on devastating: 

Limited liability, offshore secrecy regimes, deregulation and government handouts ensure that they bear none of the costs their class has inflicted on the rest of us. They live at our expense, while disparaging the lesser mortals who support them.
