Once upon a time, there was this war - it was maybe around 148 years ago or so. The war was one of the worst kinds you can have - that brother fighting brother thing was not a myth.
Anyway, there was this guy in a tall hat was the president at the time. He gave a speech one day. It was kind of interesting because in the speech, there were these words that he used - and are still used today to define the type of government that the United States of America is supposed to have. So, this speechifying thing - it was given from a place called Gettysburg in the state of Pennsylvania.

This man's definition went like this: "We here highly resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth
of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the
people, shall not perish from the earth".
So, I have a question... in 148 years - what the hell happened?

I understand your point of course but the truth is that nothing has changed. The few rule the many, and the freedom he described was very limited in scope, and remains limited today.
