This is what our founding fathers warned us about huh? Newsflash - our founding fathers were the top 1% back then. Ever been to Mount Vernon? George Washington owned a 500 acre plantation before the American Revolution, and before he became the first President. |
You seem very confused....
I just said we've had them at least 250 years, I know we will always have them, and nobody is wanting to take away everything they have.
Wealth is only "part" of the pie... it is not what defines the 1%. Washington damn sure not part of the 1% back then, he was part of the 99% that split us apart from the 1%. Just because he had money, does not mean he was corrupted - which is one thing the man wasn't.
Our founding fathers were, revolutionaries.... without question.
