it talks about the social ladder. obviously the "kid" he talks about is pretty high up on it. maybe he cheated to get there, maybe murdered some one. and the government tells him that they dont care since hes so rich and important. they even justify his actions by maybe saying that it was necessary, because the people he hurt were "less" than humans, below him on the social ladder. it is a metaphor for all the rich people who cheated to get to where they are.
