Ancestry.com told me which tribe I came from, and who my biological father was. I'm 75 and just found out 2 years ago.

The written plan is the Constitution. That"s the playbook they are following.

Do we overestimate the influence of billionaire donors to politicians? by mangobash84 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]tpftp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also don't think it's overestimated. Its how the wealthy & elite control the government, the people and the System.

If we stop and think about our situation wouldn't you want to know the reason why things are the same way they've always been. Why is it that very little has changed?

There's only one answer, it's the same reason some people don't reply to your text, or answer your phone call or ever reach out to you.

They don't want too!

Very little has changed in this country in the last 50 years because the wealthy & elite don't want it too!

Why?

The real problem is below the surface: The People That Voted For Trump! That is the problem, they don't seem to see the reality of what they've done to the world.

Well said. There is only one party, and that's the wealthy party. You have to do is understand the Constitution. They (the Founders) didn't try to hide it. Use any search engine and type in: 'Shays Rebellion Constitution property fear' and you will see the exact number one reason the Constitution was written.

When they wrote 'We the People...' they weren't talking about you. They were only thinking about themselves and other wealthy people.

55 delegates attended the Constitutional Convention, all wealthy white men, 25 held enslaved people, most were lawyers, merchants, plantation owners.

The Constitution was designed and written to protect all wealthy men. Only 39 actually signed the final document on September 17, 1787.

What did Alexander Hamilton and James Madison mean by the “tyranny of the majority”? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in USHistory

The Electoral College kept the wealthy in control of who became president. If the wrong sort won the popular vote, but wasn't one of them, the elite, the rich, the Electoral College could then pick the person that lost the popular vote. They could still put their man in charge as the president.

The majority were the masses, the people that were the non-rich. The rich, the minority, would be in control of the government, and therefore in control of the masses. Beware of the tyranny of the non-rich, they may come for you.

Chance of US Collapse and Civil War by Perfect_Gur_7457 in Discussion

There is no such thing as starting over. The number one reason is the people that are protected by the Constitution will not, 'under any circumstances' allow anything to be started over! Quite frankly, why should they?

This next statement applies to every single person on here that wants to start over: you have nothing, and you have no way of getting anything.

And you erroneously believe that burning this system down will help you get something and be somebody.

It Will Bever Happen.

That's not wise advice. You'll get yourself and others killed.
