Looking back, damn, we should have picked our own cotton.

... we should have picked our own cotton.

And we should be doing our own coding, picking our own grapes, and doing our own construction now.

The point I'm making is that "we" didn't get to choose.

The plutocrats chose for us.

They demand cheap labor now, just as they demanded free labor in the antebellum years.

What are we going to do about it?

George Washington and Andrew Jackson should have bought tractors.

Forget about John Deere, George Jackson tractors would have been something else.
