A quick look at history shows that America (thats the North one) was grown from a backwater colony to an economic powerhouse on the back of slavery. Turns out you can make a heap of profit when you don't have to pay minimum wage or health care. . or anything, to the labour intensive industry of your choice.
These families made bulk and that privilege flowed down to land ownership and thereafter.
Of course not everyone was making benefit from this and they weren't sharing the spoils willy nilly.

The "economic anxiety" thing was crock of shit. That's a just fancy name for the same ol' racism.
That woman real estate agent who flew to DC from Texas in a chartered 'plane to attend the coup, then posted pics on social media saying she had the time of her life. After she flew home she deleted all her posts. She's now been arrested and interestingly all her social media posts are attached to the charging documents. She's appealing to Trump for a pardon.
Chartering corporate air services is not normally an indication of economic anxiety. Same for all the others who flew from all over te country to join the show.
