Who are really supposed to be underdogs, according to the passage you have heard?
The rights we are granted by the Constitution to guarantee the basic freedoms of speech, religion, petition, press, and assembly. By exercising these rights, freedom can be discovered, and can also be costly. The corruption for power is a popular factor in the decay of American rights. For example, if the underdog wishes to attack the wrong doings of leaders, the underdog’s accusations may be twisted and undermine the real issue. The power to distort often gives the assistance to higher authority, and often leads to victory. Therefore people often lose rights that they have originally been given. Given the fact that out of all Americans today, two percent are millionaires, and fifty percent of this number happen to be Jewish people; this might reinforce the belief that the persecution lead the Jewish to become a strong entity that would not be defeated. America’s leaders seem oblivious to the corruption that they are leading to, by denying the rights of one to support the powerful. "Money is the root of all evil, and a man needs roots."
