A short George Carlin routine in which he says the owners of the country run a big club and ordinary people are not in it.

Quoted whenever commenters want to express that wealth and power are rigged against ordinary people, as in Robinhood or big-tech threads.

Not to be confused with Groucho Marx's joke about belonging to clubs. :-) Carlin's bit, for reference. ▶ this video
