I do not in fact think that. I think that America is a country built on wealthy landowners ruling everyone else. I think this because voting was initially restricted to landowners which is a pretty obvious signal that our modern idea of "American freedom" is in fact not what the country was actually founded upon and the current domination of wealthy elites and corporations suggests that nothing ever changed other than our naive expectations.
