Ten Principles of Concentration of Wealth and Power

Noam Chomsky: Requiem for the American Dream

  1. Reduce Democracy (protect against public influence on policy)
  2. Shape ideology (keep the young from believing in democracies)
  3. Redesign the economy (more power to financial institutions)
  4. Shift the burden (reduce tax burden away from the super-wealthy)
  5. Attach solidarity (keep people separated and selfish)
  6. Run the [governmental] regulators (businesses [financial institutions] control business regulation
  7. Engineer elections (allow unlimited money into government)
  8. Keep the rabble in line (disallow democratization of the public)
  9. Manufacture consent (consumeristic society rather than a thoughtful public)
  10. Marginalize the population (take political voice away from the general public)
     

    Do not kid yourself. This is where the United States is at. No longer are we a nation to be proud of. Rather, we have joined the infamous dictators that we once turned away from.
