I concur with all the points except secessionist stuff. More and more people of the World, and, hopefully, more and more Americans, are becoming more aware that THE EMPEROR IS NOT WEARING ANY CLOTHES.

The recent election in Greece is certainly hopeful.

There's 99.9% of us and .1% of them. WE CAN DO THIS!

at least half of them vote against their own economic interests because to paraphrase an old quote, they don't see themselves as poor but instead temporarily embarrassed millionaires. As long as that 1% can continue to keep those 2 halves of the remaining populus fighting against each other instead of them, and keep that one half focused on muslims, atheists, gays, feminists, immigrants and just any general "others", the elites will continue to be successful.
