"America was about a lot of things, back when it all meant something, but there
was always a virus in the matrix," writes William Rivers Pitt. "George
Washington and Thomas Jefferson and the rest of the great thinkers put all the
good ideas to paper, but they also made sure the thing was hard-wired to favor
anyone with a lot of money."

"Lionizing a Founding Father on the Fourth of July is a simple task, to be sure,
but Benjamin Franklin turns this process on its ear. He represents all we can be
and all we should be, and likewise represents all we no longer seem to be or
care to be today. He is worthy of admiration, which is easy, and worthy of
emulation, which is not," writes William Rivers Pitt.
