Under the Constitution, everyone's equal.
In real life, money gives advantages.

In the words of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, writing the Court's majority opinion in Harper v. Virginia Brd of Elec., 1966,
"Notions of what constitutes equal treatment, for purposes of the Equal Protection Clause, DO change."

Under the Constitution? Yes. In reality? No.

All people are equal for most purposes. Citizens have a few more privileges in certain situations.
But then again, people usually only get as much justice as they can afford. Welcome to capitalism.

They're -supposed- to be equal in the eyes of the law, but it doesn't work out that way.
