A veil over Americas eyes

I think that question 10 on the Invisble Man Socratic Seminar questions was a very important question.  The question asks if you think that the veill over the founding father statue is truely being removed or if it is being more firmly put in place.  I personally feel that the veil was being more firmly put in place in The Invisible Man for many different reasons.  One of the biggest examples of this was of The Brotherhood who while acting like they cared about the people of the city in reality had their own plans all along.  They only used the city to make themselves bigger and become globally known.
I also believe that the veil is being pulled over many peoples eyes in America today.  This veil is not a specific one either, it has to do with politics, economics, religion, etc.  Politics is probably the most prudent of all of them however. Many politicians specifically republicans want to cut education which obviously is a bad thing to do, but what people don't realize is that uneducated people are more easily swayed in their voting choices. So by cutting education you are in fact pulling the veil over the people because the people are becoming more and more oblvious to what is going on around them.
I think then that it is terrible what was done in the book to the people and what is being done to people now adays. It is completely unfair that this happens and it should be changed, but saddly will most likely not change which is a shame. The only part about this that makes me less quick to anger is that while some people are taken advantage of not on their own accord their some people however who are just plain dumb enough to have the veil pulled over them.
