AOC: “America was founded in revolt of British aristocracy. The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time. It’s actually the most American thing in the world for us to be fighting for the working class. It’s actually patently un-American to transform our country into a place of kings and landed gentry”
I know nothing. What were the issues?
If I’m remembering correctly endless wars the British were waging to grow or continue the empire (ie protection against French).

Which is extra funny now as that’s about the only thing Americans are fine paying taxes for now, the bloated military.
Slavery was a major contributing factor
