The people making the rules will always get special treatment because having the power to make the rules requires having the power to grant oneself special treatment under them. And for the same reason, this is not a problem solvable by rules. I don't care that Jeff Bezos gets better customer service from Amazon than me, or that some senators son can pick up the phone and talk to the head of the IRS. What I care about is that the service I get from the IRS is horrible and the service that I get from Amazon is good.
