The original idea that formed the country was that there was one country one set of laws and there was NO RULING CLASS. The federal government had no say in what the citizens could do and for 200 some years there was no limit to what we the people could do. Since then little by little we have been tricked into thinking that there were some of us that were were better than others and for the last 50 years we allowed the Federal government to take over everything and as that happened we stopped growing and worse started to use up 200 years of accumulated capital. Our education system doesn’t teach us out to be good people but instead teaches us how to hate others. The politicians love this for they have leverage on us by proposing more and more laws to make things more fair and take away from some to give to others eliminating the need to work. No country can survive this and if we don’t change back to the old system soon the will be no United States in a few years.
