Robert Reich on the concentration of wealth:

3. A conundrum

Ironically, America was founded by the ultra-rich of the day. Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin - all of them were extremely wealthy landowners and slave owners.

Having said that, this example also proves Mr. Reich's point, because when these very wealthy slave owners voted to accept the words, "All men are created equal," they were in fact referring to white, male land owners (the wealthy), over 21 years of age. The majority of Americans, slaves, people of color, women, and poor people did not have a voice at all.
