Yeah it's probably best to start with by using every means available to abuse the system without immediately becoming an enemy of the system.

They would try to bend the rules and shortchange things of course, but after you can prove that you live in a two-tiered society with results then more developments can be made.

Then the "unsavory" practices become a lot more reasonable when you do them under the table to avoid the system you know is trying to cheat you.
