How to beat the right - in three minutes!

This does touch on economic issues, so I thought the wizards in here might want to take a look (as well as everyone else.)

If the mods disagree... well, please accept my advance apologies.

2. I've been trying to analyze the "Great Satan" for a while.
My goal is to figure out a philosophy/worldview that is consistent in itself and then match it to the real world. If these people run the economy and government, they can't be stupid. The also have to coordinate with one another.

This most difficult problem: How do a bunch of greedy selfish bastards work together? Wouldn't they take any opportunity to screw each other?

When I figure this out I want to make a board game where we all play these aristocrats and screw America.

3. The article is good, and should also stress the dumbification of America..
What it is that brings workers into the cheap labor workforce in the first place is often a lack of education. The "dumbing down" of America is happening on many different fronts, many of which are often barely perceptible:

The reelection of a world leader and role model who appears to represent the next stage in human de-evolution.

The replacement of science with religious mythology.

The outsourcing of research and development to foreign countries.

An education plan that provides less reward.

Media news monopolies which focus on sound bites and ongoing human soap operas, and which filter out any news that attempts to tackle the tough questions.

Increasing levels of CO and CO2 in the atmosphere....
