    Longer than that, I’d say. The rich have been screwing with the lower classes since the country was founded.

      The rich have been screwing with the lower classes since the advent of money. Point me to a time in world history where those with money and power didn’t abuse the rest of us. The problem with hierarchical systems is the worst people always end up rising.
