    The founding fathers were the rich that wanted all of the riches of the new found land for themselves and their rich friends.

    So far, it’s going exactly as planned.

      Sometimes it seems like we let the slaves walk away from the plantation…then just kinda stopped there in terms of social development.

      Or one could argue we just built prison labor instead and never really developed at all.
