Do you remember in history of the birth of our great nation we revolted against many of the governments which now have built a stronghold within what was the PEOPLE'S. it was established in the premise that wealth had nothing to do with social standing. You were just rich! Now unfortunately as time always manages to do, the greed of the rich, elitist, manage to own the very ground we walk on and the air we breath and could surely take it even from you. But, to keep this under foot, they would even convince their distinguished followers that they are not being treated in a manner which is less than suitable for their needs, or even the needs of a lowly blue collar that's putting the addition on their guest house for ten thousand less than the original bid.

I must respectfully disagree. Voting was limited to male landowners. Women could not own property in many states nor even claim custody of their children if their husband left them. And of course, slaves had no legal rights. Together, women, slaves and non-landowners made up the majority of the population.
