    When a system is working as designed it is working correctly, is it not?

    If this system isn’t working for you (which means I guess you are not rich), then you need a different system, don’t you?

            They’re not defending the rich and powerful as above the law, they’re analyzing the way the law is written and applied, and the way it’s been written and applied since the country’s founding.

            The whiskey rebellion was triggered when George Washington taxed independent whiskey producers, while his and his buddy’s large distilleries were largely exempt.

            The law is written to protect the oppressing class and bind the oppressed class.

                We are and have always been a bourgeoisie democracy; a dictatorship of capital.

                The struggle against this is a struggle against the very essence of America.
