in discussing the features of the constitution he wrote and was promoting, madison was frank, it's purpose was to ensure the rich ruled the usa. it worked, they do. evincing surprise at this late date, can only be wilful ignorance, or cynical misdirection. he said he was creating a polity "for the ages," and deserves respect, for the key features have survived, and another plutocrat is president. only revolution can change the path of the usa in a constructive way, because the people have no formal access to law, and the law-makers have little incentive to listen to voters. recent 'progressive' additions to the house are hopeful. but the plutocrats survived the new deal and veterans benefits, survived total control of government by democrat party, with many socialists in office, and gradually bought back their nation, one politician at a time. the 'new blue wave' is as yet, nothing like as powerful as fdr's congress.
