You think there was a giant leap from slavery to middle class? No man, it was the same old shit first, then they get more complicated for this same new shit we've got now. And between 1776 and now was the Civil War of Northern Aggression to keep them all centralized and under their thumb, and most of those guys fighting didn't own slaves but they died anyway. The Spanish American War, more of the same. And on and on and on... That's all "they" have ever done.

They moved mountains to unify those first 13 states, and then it was all downhill from there.

Very interesting stuff that makes me doubt my faith in the founding fathers. Is it fair to pin the civil war on them though? I guess you are establishing a patterns of nasty business that has been there from the start. And calling the founding fathers statists who took their people backwards, who did the wrong thing or who were misguided.

Pin most problems on all elites all through time. The true parasite class.

Sure the Founding Fathers may have wanted their freedom from Britain. Or maybe it was all just political theatre orchestrated by the Freemasons, Banksters, Elites, etc.

Maybe Trump and Hillary are good friends. Maybe they are bitter enemies. Maybe they're just rivals of the same class. Fighting it out at the expense of millions and millions of collateral lives, if not billions.

I never said, "the founding fathers statists who took their people backwards, who did the wrong thing or who were misguided."

Maybe they were or weren't. But they were the elites, and by default they are Machiavellian or they won't last.
