...seems like the poor and rich, are quite inequal. Possibly the rich could have rigged the rules in their favor using their wealth. One could then say, that is an issue of planning, as the rich should not hold greater political sway than the majority.

None of this has anything to do with political sway. I'm talking about the economic depression that will ensue if we keep the economy closed. That will hurt the poor more than the rich. Economic depressions cause people to lose money - if you start at a higher place, you're better off when you lose 30% or more of your net worth. It has nothing to do with political influence.

You can pretend that the economy is non-political all you want. The clear loss of life you imply says otherwise.
