I agree with Grant on some points however to deny that Trump and his people are also elites is woefully problematic. Our problem is that we have several factions of billionaires vying for control over the crumbling remains of the Anglo American Empire. I don't want to be a subject to any billionaire wage slaver. My father and grandfather lived and worked in times when billionaires did not exist and one could save to buy a new car and a home with a grocery clerk's salary. Times when you could put yourself through college working as a pizza delivery driver for the price of a happy meal daily. So I know this is something that can happen again, because it used to be the common condition in the United States. Billionaires exist, because of a bipartisan effort to remove every economic safeguard that made the U.S. the most wealthy, powerful, educated, and free society in the western world. The dismantling of our system of checks and balances was also a bipartisan effort. From Gerald Ford all the way to Donald Trump. Republicans and Democrats are both wings of the same rotting turkey. In my estimation it's time for a Jeffersonian revolution of several people's. California can do California in California. Texas can do Texas in Texas. New York can do new york in new york. We can all pick what we're about, form alliances, and redraw the map. My proposal is to do America to the letter. Not just to the spirit of our original declaration of independence, but to the letter as well in a truth that never really has existed. A truth that will bind each citizen to the creation, clultivation, and protection of a free, sustainable, and self sufficient republic sans the tyranny of political elites, or billionaire oligarchs.
