THE CLASSES OF U.S.

CITIZENSHIP
first The founding fathers who signed the Declaration of Independence

were wealthy land owners who also owned slaves. It was assumed
that the term “inalienable right” applied exclusively to those who
controlled slaves, indentured servants, and women; arguably those
who had little time or independence to pursue life, liberty, or hap-
Land and piness. The working class at that time were called “Freemen” who
earned freedom from indentured servitude. Having been released
Business from being owned, and with little education, the freemen had little
alternative but to join the military. The swollen ranks of freemen in

in the Revolutionary War.

SECOND land owner, resources to produce and sell products for a properly

class functioning society. Price controls on resources prevented second

class citizens from gaining wealth enough to purchase land of their
own, until the Industrial Revolution when the costs of production
were reduced because of automation. Copyright laws and Patent
Investors regulations only allowed the first few major manufacturers to
maintain control over the means of production. Innovation on a

a few more people to become extraordinarily wealthy, and a whole
lot of other people to become poorer.

poor young men have little choice but to join the military for

wars are started by first class citizens, to cull the herds of those
below, and increase the wealth of second class weapons manu-
facturers and the first class owners of those industries.

The control of lower classes by higher classes is called a “chain of institutionalization.” The elite First
Class controls print and electronic media, by enforcing patent laws that block competitors, they then make
access to media outlets too expensive for the lower classes, and finally they create and reinforce artificial
values and meanings which influence elections, popular trends, racism, religious discrimination, and
purchasing on unsustainable credit. This is the definition of not a democracy, but an industrial plutocracy.
