Remembering George McGovern

[sabrina 1]

23. Yes, it's definitely a class issue. The 1% has created a 'royal' class

which views the masses as inferior rather than as equals in a country where anyone was supposed to be able to 'make it'. Unlike the kind of society where royalty rules and remains unthreatened in their positions, by the teeming masses. All that is missing are the crowns and other paraphernalia that made the ruling class more obvious in the past.

I don't think they have yet completely succeeded in returning to those days, but we are on the way.

It's nothing new really, the ruling classes always feared the people and kept them down, uneducated, illiterate and poor in order to control them.

But this country was based on a new idea where anyone with the ability to do so, could attain success and class would not be an impediment. I think the 1% were never comfortable with that possibility.

Therefore it is up to the people to support leaders like McGovern, when they come along. But for some reason they do not.
