AOC: “America was founded in revolt of British aristocracy. The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time. It’s actually the most American thing in the world for us to be fighting for the working class. It’s actually patently un-American to transform our country into a place of kings and landed gentry”

It was the rich people mad that the extremely rich people weren't letting them become extremely rich

That isn't true either though. The motivations were war taxes levied as a response to a war they started, being unable to compete with British tea exports, and the potential enforcement of British laws like "Don't fucking invade another country without asking you fucking numbskull". American rich people were not kept down or prevented from competing or in any way inconvenienced. They still paid less tax than the British did and still had access to free land they stole.

Don't forget the crown setting limits on westward genocidal expansion (casue it cost money to defend the settlers for little gain).

Really it's an object lesson that the bourgeoisie will never be happy
