I know I'm naive, but can someone explain?

Okay, I'm generalizing here. The Enron people, the power brokers and the people who affect thousands of people by trashing their savings, incomes/jobs and their homes get off scot free or make plea deals. They serve little or no time and still have billions and all those people start over again.

There there is poor dumb a$$ Survivor I winner Richard Hatch who gets 51 months for his income tax evasion and perjury. He did this to himself, he blew his own plea deal, but he only harmed himself.....

Never ceases to amaze me.
