Stan, what I mean is that the advantages held by the super-rich today can only be maintained by convincing a vast majority of ordinary people to vote against their own and the country's interests. It helps that aim if the populace goes to crummy schools and is massively distracted with bread and circuses. It takes a lot of really naive and foolish people to vote themselves into our present sorry state.
Voting for Lyndon Johnson was voting against the best interests of the US.
Voting for George McGovern was voting against the best interests of the US.
Voting for Jimmy Carter was voting against the best interests of the US.
Voting for Michael Dukakis was voting against the best interests of the US.
Voting for Bill Clinton was voting against the best interests of the US.
Voting for Ralph Nader was voting against the best interests of the US.
Voting for Al Gore was voting against the best interests of the US.
Voting for John Kerry was voting against the best interests of the US.
Voting for Barach Obama was voting against the best interests of the US.
Voting for Hilary Clinton was voting against the best interests of the US.
Since JFK, any vote for the Democratic candidate or leftist independent candidate has been a vote against the best interests of the US. Your "naive and foolish people" have been those who voted Democrat.
