Our country was not built to support blood dynasties or to elevate the rich and famous to a higher ethical or constitutional plain.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The history of our country is not the history of any other country in the world which is either practicing advanced democracy or struggling to lay the foundation for democracy.
Inherited wealth, that is not what America is based upon.
We don't have to sit by and watch our meritocracy be replaced by a permanent aristocracy, and our democracy be undermined by dynastic wealth.
There is no reason why a nation as rich as ours should be blighted by poverty, disease, and illiteracy.
The rich do not want people who come from poor families to rise to the highest position in the country.
A statesman cannot afford to be a moralist.
We cannot run a democracy without a strong middle class.
The presidency of the United States is not some crown to be passed between two families.
We stand a better chance with aristocracy, whether hereditary or elective, than with monarchy.
Our country's founders cherished liberty, not democracy.
