Are Americans Really This Stupid?

The United States of America has gone from the greatest creditor nation in history to the greatest debtor nation in history in less than a lifetime. A few Americans are succeeding magnificently while most are struggling to get by. We, the people, can't seem to figure out what the heck is going on. One worldview dominates the human epic: the "law of the jungle," "survival of the fittest," "might makes right." This look-out-for-number-one, me-first attitude is humanity's default operating paradigm. But the truth is, society only prospers when people connect, collaborate and create together. Politics is our means of coming together. Politics ultimately determines the economic and social fortunes of nations and peoples. Empowering the many is the path to economic and social prosperity. Empowering a few at the expense of many - the path we are on - is a recipe for disaster. Are Americans Really this Stupid? offers a better recipe.
