Today in Western Civ, we continued to take notes on Ancient Rome. Rome, at one point, was ruled by the rich doing basically whatever they wanted. They would take land from the poor because they knew nobody would do anything about it. In all honesty, there wasn't a whole lot they really could do. Most of it was definitely not fair. Nobody could find a job. This was for the simple reason that all the slaves already were doing the work. So, why pay someone to do it when you could basically force the slaves to do it? The men were out of work until the army needed war again. That was when they were finally employed.
