I did, but I lived in the optimism that my work ethic would easily win me a stable place within it. It was only after several moves, moving up a few rungs in the ladder, and hitting my late thirties did I realise what a crock it all was.

Also I'm not advocating that landowners are the only ones who should vote, the Earl Gray sat through that mess in the 1830s. I'm saying that one's emotionally driven feelings towards the system subsides somewhat when one is persecuted less by it, which makes sense.
