So your claim is the founders wanted the wealthy to rule the country?
Well they did. White, LAND OWNING Men to be exact.
Things have come a long way since 1776. Thank Magic Sky Daddy!

“The true reason,” says Blackstone, “of requiring any qualification with regard to property in voters, is to exclude such persons as are in so mean a situation that they are esteemed to have no will of their own. If these persons had votes, they would be tempted to dispose of them under some undue influence or other. This would give a great, an artful, or a wealthy man a larger share in elections than is consistent with general liberty. If it were probable that every man would give his vote freely and without influence of any kind, then, upon the true theory and genuine principles of liberty, every member of the community, however poor, should have a vote in electing these delegates, to whose charge is committed the disposal of his property, his liberty, and his life. But since that can hardly be expected in persons of indigent fortunes, or such as are under the immediate dominion of others, all popular states have been obliged to establish certain qualifications, whereby some who are suspected to have no will of their own are excluded from voting, in order to set other individuals, whose wills may be supposed independent, more thoroughly upon a level with each other.”
all this just to avoid the fact that robmoney is obviously the the candidate of the wealthy.

Landowners were not wealthy back then.
some were but most were not.
most did not BUY their land but claimed it by working it for a number of years
the founders left us a system that we could make our own.
We did by making it fairer and fairer.
I really do think most of the founders would be proud of the changes
I still can't get over that TM supports and votes for a racist who went to a racist church for 20 years... That alone speaks volumes about the bigot we have come to know as Truthmatters on these boards.

sure you guys here think that is awesome.
the vast majority of American voters disagree and show that with their wallets
