I don’t refuse there is a class system and it is old and very powerful. Today the issue of immigration is the issue that is being used to keep the working people divided while the owner and investor class squeeze more wealth from the middle class. If you review our history the plantation owners had poor whites in the south fighting a war just to keep their social status over enslaved black people. The right often says the democrats are brainwashed and their media is fake, and some of it is true, but the biggest scam in America is right wing economics and how the right wing media gets white voters to vote for trickle down economics. These people actually believe a tax cut on the wealthy will trickle down onto them like magic. All while they are brainwashed to hate their own government they vote for. So here we are in America paying the most for healthcare with one of the lowest life expectancies in the developed world and one of the latest retirement ages. But we can’t raise taxes on the wealthy, who have been taking all of the growth and prosperity in this country, because some day Betsy Devos will trickle down a yacht onto joe six pack.
I agree with virtually everything you said regarding the status quo. How this however is improved by bringing in more mediocre people and most above illegals is an absolute mystery to me.
At least we have found common ground. The right in America has grabbed onto an antiglobalization message that was the left’s but not to the extreme extent the right now feigns. They are not antiglobalization, the president hire illegal aliens and legal aliens by the thousands for his businesses. What the right truly wants is a global immigration system with businesses being able to choose who can legally immigrate into this country based on what they claim their needs are. Once again moving more power over the country into the hands of the ownership and investor class. I have gone through my points about the American workers investment in education and availability of good paying jobs and my overarching, historically based, belief we should not set conditions that benefit the affluent. In truth I think most of this backlash on immigration is a byproduct of Europeans don’t really want to immigrate to America anymore. Let’s face it, they have better systems in a lot of areas and reasonably better chances of prosperity. So America is seeing an influx of brown skinned immigrants and the average white American doesn’t like that.
