Finally, someone who sees this situation correctly.

The Unites States was not created to have a 'ruling class'. and the fact that we do should have started something that would change it a long time ago.

The fact that this did not happen, is not happening, and doesn't show any sign of beginning to happen, shows how thoroughly we have been programmed to accept their machinations as being okay because they are the 'ruling class'.
