A rage for paper money, for an abolition of debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other improper or wicked project, will be less apt to pervade the whole body of the Union than a particular member of it; in the same proportion as such a malady is more likely to taint a particular county or district, than an entire State.
When economic interest is seen behind the political clauses of the Constitution, then the document becomes not simply the work of wise men trying to establish a decent and orderly society, but the work of certain groups trying to maintain their privileges, while giving just enough rights and liberties to enough of the people to ensure popular support.
Perhaps we need a different approach, for over 300 years the rich and powerful have made laws, they've taken land and money, they've beaten the poor into a controllable mass, just like they're doing today. Today, it's worse. They own the world, they own what we eat, what we drink, they own our illnesses, our 'cures', they've turned us into zombies. Protests haven't worked, it's shown historically to be the case.
They control us because they fear us, the fear us because we are the majority.
