just the opposite. The early founders and Americans fought for independence from control by the great power, aristocracy, absolutism and wealth of England. It's our nation and our democracy, and no persons of wealth can buy it or own it.
FYI People: King George III of England was our last hereditary absolute Monarch!

It's "WE THE PEOPLE" remember. Americans fought and died for this democracy, the first one after 2,000 years!

Our democracy and way of life that were once respected around the world, are declining and must be protected & preserved. "A coward dies a thousand deaths" as my father, a WWII soldier who fought Nazi Germany said.
