I would never want to be a part of a revolution. I would only ask the same things the founding fathers fought for. Representation. Anyway you slice it, my voice will never be heard because I am not a part of the wealthiest people in this country.

No, I am only a part of the majority...

founding fathers

Those slave owners and teenagers? Lol they designed the constitution precisely to keep power with the rich, as what's happening right now.

Representation

You will never get that in a broken and rigged system without a revolution.

I recently noticed something interesting while reading one of the federalist papers for a US government class:

"A rage for paper money, for an abolition of debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other improper or wicked project, will be less apt to pervade the whole body of the union, than a particular member of it" -James Madison, the guy who drafted the constitution
