""What the legislators normally end up representing is the will of the most powerful monied sectors in a society, that is to say: big business, the banks, the rich, the military-industrial complex, the insurance companies, the professional organizations, and the established bureaucracy, all of which are in it for their own maintenance and their own pecuniary interests.""

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but, given that the legislators are (mostly) upholding the civil rights of a minority, to equality of treatment, how does that gel with pandering to the monied sectors?
