Which is completely unlike today's situation.

This country was built be people who ran away from those systems. We dont have that inherent built in "we are peasants, we have always been peasants" mentality.
Our country has been built on "work hard and you can be what you want to be"
It has only been recently that other countries have done this. Not the 250 years of our country.
