- 1Posted by CircuitGuy 10 years agoI wonder if it's more complicated than that because the Founder's of the US were materially poorer than most people today, but were still concerned about freedom. I wonder if the problem is infrastructure built around a certain level of wealth. Maybe an example would we be a city designed around cars would make not having a car difficult. This would not be an issue before cars were invented.| Permalink
