That's interesting. Thanks. I hadn't thought of this before: <Because American immigrants, even the lowest of the low, owned their own land, they had a completely different point of view about private property and autonomy than any other culture the world had ever seen. > [slaves and others notwithstanding - they didn't own land]

I suppose that's the underpinnings of the political system in the USA for a couple of centuries. As people become more indebted, have less property and live in cities, I wonder if that will make a major difference.

I suppose it already has. The USA is now a country of BIG government. World record government.
