RE: If the founding fathers lived a day in 2014......
The founding fathers were sophisticated strategic thinkers so the rise of America as a continental or global power wouldn't be a surprise.
The rise of the consumer and the diversity of consumer and lifestyle options might be a big shocker. People today are not segregated by wealth but by lifestyle.
For instance a Redneck will spend 50,000 on a pick up truck while he buys his clothing with Marlboro Points. Its not money that is driving things it is priorities. Having a killer truck trumps all else.
Others spend all of their income on foreign travel while refusing to go anywhere in the US. Some have a lake retreat they go to every year.
