I would argue this is the beauty of the true American exceptionality, in that the American Revolution, despite the British propoganda attempting to paint it as hardly more than a momentary lapse in military judgement, truly was the unique act in history of an imperfect overthrow of monarchy for individualism.
In politics I always see a thing that divides the people, but the American principles we are fighting for are about unity under the common societal belief structure that each man is his own King. Immigrants swear alligience, and military take oaths, not to the queen or king, but to the Constitution. The Supreme law of the land, constructed to protect the rights established naturally upon all men. Not to establish any right, but to protect them all.
I want the rest of the world to be granted inspiration of our constitution, but we need to stop doing it by military might, and do it by example instead.
The US was founded by wealthy land owners because they preferred to keep their money rather than pay taxes to the British Empire.
I sympathise with that but lets not pretend it was founded with the freedoms and protections of ALL people in mind. Slaves and women were not granted those rights.
The country was founded by oligarchs for oligarchs and it has remained that way.
You have a point about the government being set up to serve the wealthy and propertied, but that's likely true no matter which time period you live in.
Worker class vs capitalist class. Under the current system, the classes are incentive-incompatible and human beings are surprisingly receptive to incentives on an intuitive level.
