America has the greatest marketing skills in the world

..for enough cash, you can convince a substantial portion of our population to jump off a cliff

..which in a figurative sense is happening every day

Can you imagine the lunacy of a clone of the Gordon Gekko character from the movie Wall Street, (Greed is good...) being elected president

...and it really wasn't that far from happening

Since our political system has been allowed to permit unlimited cash to enter the discussion, as speech, it speaks for greed and wealth transfer to the few

It does this by hiring those marketing skills
