5. It's all about the BETTERS when it comes down to it.
"What can YOU do to make THE BETTERS happy?" That's ALL that's mattered in this country since it was founded. We came here to find a better life and ended up with the same old one.

And would a revolt make things better? Eventually, a few with their greediness would rise through exploitation and force and things would be the same all over again.

Why will no one realize that when the middle class does well, the rich will do even better? Or is it that the betters just don't WANT that? I truly believe that they'll sacrifice the long term outlook of their companies and the economy to get theirs NOW. Because no matter if we have a collapse and then a depression . . . they're still rich.

And "Work hard, and you'll be successful" is the biggest lie told to mankind this century.
