Hey, I wouldn't mind being rich - but I'm not, nor have I ever tried, and I got over it a long time ago. I've got a lot more than many other's on this planet.

You say . . .

"The fat cat money people are always on top and the average person is always on the bottom ! "

That depends on your perpective. What you are calling the "bottom" is probably a person that drives cars, lives in a heated home, eats very well, raises children in a safe place, etc. That lifestyle is considered "high living in some other parts of the world.

You also say . . .

"The control has been taken away from the average person and if your not in control, guess what? ( Your out of control! ) "

I don't think that is quite true. The average person never had power to start with - and that's a good thing. Do you really want "average" people in charge? And, lack of control that you never had anyway - is a lot different than having that power and using it with no restraints.

One more thing - you stated:

"Just wondering if maybe this is how it was in history about the time of the big tea party ?"

The Tea Party was a protest by people that didn't like their across-the-sea government telling them what to do anymore. When it finally became a full revolt - that battle was done by a very small percentage of the people - and certainly not the "average" ones. A few extraordinary people and their actions resulted in our country being created via the Articles of Confederation.
We again need a few extraordinary people to provide leadership so well meaning average and above-average people can follow. Whether it can be done with today's method of elections, I don't know. In fact, even if we got a really good president - he probably would lack the power to really turn things around.
