The left says that the wealth of America is stolen. So here’s the first
question: Who stole it? Was it the one percent? Now if we look at American
history, who are the people who moved West and displaced the Indians? The
immigrants. Who are the people who benefited from slavery? Well everybody who
bought a cotton shirt. Who are the people who defeated the Mexicans in the
Mexican War? Ordinary immigrants and settlers.
So the point is that the critique of America is not one that is aimed
at wealthy aristocrats who had beautiful cottages or mansions on the East
Coast. The progressive critique is an attack on the immigrants themselves –
it’s an attack on people like me. And so, what I’m doing here is making a
defense of the ordinary American against these malicious charges that are
leveled by the left, which are untrue and the prelude to shaking us down
economically.
