If you look at history, you will see that those responsible for the creation of modern day America were all “men of means” by the standards of the time. The design of government they designed for us was one that was designed to “protect wealth and property” (from the rest of us). This explains why in early America the state governments selected their own senators. The electoral college (which gave us Donald Trump as President) was designed to favor rural areas as opposed to urban areas. It being felt that those who owned land, who farmed that land, were more “trustworthy” than those “city folks”.
Then we have the Supreme Court, which in the “Citizens United” case decided that there should be no limits upon political donations just as there is no limit on “freedom of speech”. Needless to say, this was a great gift to corporate America, one that delivered the lowest corporate taxes in modern times. Fundamentally “proof” if any is needed of “who” rules” the USA today!
