Absolutely. Throughout history, every society has been broken down into classes based on either wealth, education, race, ethnicity, gender, or occupation. Even today people are normally divided into three classes – upper, middle and lower.

In the 1600s the Enlightenment recognized the importance of man, and when it came time to form a new nation, the founding fathers wanted government “of the people, for the people and by the people.”

God, not kings, gave man rights like liberty, equality. The founding fathers decided that everyone should have a voice in government, but to do so in an organized way, people had to vote for representatives to represent voter interests.

This arrangement spawned the American Dream. Every American had the opportunity to achieve the dream. Achieve as much as each one could based on hard work and dedication.

But the pressure of class distinction weighed in. Under President Andrew Jackson, the central bank financed large banks which in turn backed big business and oligarch while denying small businesses access to much need capital to grow. That increased the wealth gap: the rich got richer; middle and lower classes got poorer and class distinction got clearer.

For the little man, Jackson stopped the bleeding by eliminating the central bank, paying off all US debt, and making capital accessible to small businesses.

But since 1990 the separation of classes – thus the wealth gap – has spread like never before.

Now the top 10% of American households own 54% of wealth while the bottom 90% hold 47%. This condition has resulted from the rise in globalism. Again, the culprits are the central bank – Federal Reserve – big banks catering to oligarchs and big business, all condoned by a complicit, globalist-dominant Congress.

The richest Americans rely on the stock market gains for most of their wealth. For years, the Federal Reserve has printed too much money under what is called “quantitative easing” to jack up the stock market. From 2007 – 16 the top 10% of families added 33% more wealth while middle-income families saw their net worth plunge by 20% and lower-income families by 45%.

The wider the wealth gap, the more the top class believes it can control the lower classes and opportunities for future generations fade.

But what else happened in 2008? Barrack Obama became president and immediately made racism front and center as an issue to divide Americans. Since then, racism has been taught non-stop in schools as the evil seed, crippling this country by making white people oppressors, superior and minorities oppressed, inferior without hope for a good future. A lose-lose proposition.

So does the United States have a class or racial problem? And what should be done to either one?
