A road map for USA’s self-destruction

If I wanted to destroy a great and powerful nation like America, first I would use 9/11 and the terrorist threat to enact a police state. Cameras everywhere surveilling our every move; phones and cameras tracking everything we do; TSA in the airports putting their hands on our women and children, teaching Americans to be subservient.

Then I would change the banking laws, create a giant derivatives and mortgage bubble, then burst the bubble. Then I would get the private Federal Reserve Bank to print up almost a trillion dollars and bail the banks out, really sticking it to the American people. Then, in the name of the environment, I would put a tax on the life cycle itself. Brilliant.

In fact, I would create a whole carbon trading market, take that carbon tax and stick it to the American people. Pay Al Gore money; he’ll fix everything.

And lastly, don’t let the people use any of their resources to create energy.
