Why companies, politicians exempt from the rules?

An observation about the recent killing of the United Healthcare CEO in New York. I naturally do not condone killing, but is this a backlash? 

We regular people who work each day just to make ends meet or are retired and struggle to pay their month to month living expenses, well, we still need to follow their rules … Really? Why?

You pay your insurance premium on time yet you're abruptly canceled or the company comes up with some legal double talk as to why they don't have to pay your claim. In big banks, you have to pay your monthly credit card bill, most with interest that used to be referred to as loan shark rates, but miss one or make a late payment … $40 late fee and your credit rating plummets. 

And let's not forget our incoming 47th president. A convicted felon, who was found guilty of being a sexual predator, and inspired an insurrection. SCOTUS says he can get away with what otherwise would be serious crimes for the rest of us, but he is totally absolved as long as the crimes were committed in his official capacity. 

Bottom line, why do average citizens have to continue following the rules when institutions and even the president don't?
