Crevecoeur in his "Letters from an American farmer" compares the ruling aristocrats, Bishops, nobles, and rich people of European countries to "promiscuous breed" because they inherited all the wealth and resources of the poor people for their own personal gains.
Similarly this practice of accumulating wealth by few powerful people is growing rapidly in America today. He might characterize Americans in our time as selfish and apathetic because most people choose to remain silent while the country which was was once known as 'land of opportunity' is becoming like aristocratic Europe.
