The plantation consisted of two main actors. One was the master (boss) who owned everything on the plantation including other human beings called slaves. The slaves (workers) spent most of their time producing wealth for the bosses. The workers received as many amenities as was necessary to keep them healthy enough to work. When a boss thought that a worker might need more than the boss was willing to spend on them, that worker was sold to another boss. Everyone else other than the boss and worker revolved around the plantation, primarily the worker. There were overseers, clerks, doctors, lawyers, insurers, sailors, auctioneers, etc. All were invested in keeping the workers and bosses in their places.
In 2010 an overwhelming majority of the workers in the U. S. are descendants of plantation workers. They labor long hours for the descendants of plantation bosses. Today’s worker earns just enough money to allow them to return to work. If a worker begins to accomplish what resembles upward mobility or a boss thinks that a worker may want a raise in pay, that worker is laid off or forced out of their position. An unemployed laborer has to travel begging other bosses to take them into their companies. In 2010 we have: police officers, clerks, lawyers, doctors, insurers, non-governmental agents, etc. All invested in keeping the workers and bosses in their places.
The United States was then, is now, the largest plantation on earth. Here we are all involved in the lottery of birth. If your immediate ancestors had, you have. If your immediate ancestors did not have, neither do you.
