In my youth I was taught that democracy meant that the government served the people.
What do any of these laws have to do with serving the people? Do they have anything to do with the will of the people?

Billionaires certainly are people, but these laws don’t even serve billionaires in any meaningful sense, so that’s hardly an explanation without more elaboration.

In your youth, your teachers lied to you.

I’m assuming you’re in the USA. If this a correct assumption, then you’re not in a democracy, strictly speaking; but a republic.

I am not. I am from a country whose constitution starts with the statement that it is a democratic republic.

The government serves the class that controls production and right now that class is really really concerned about what everyone does when they aren’t slaving away for them.
