The key to any good con is to persuade the mark (victim) that it's not a con. Don't worry, elect us and we will fix everything.

Excerpt:
""I have the impression of being caught up in a network of complicated, minute, stupid rules, and I have the impression of being herded towards a uniform kind of happiness, toward a kind of happiness that doesn't really make me happy."

Substitute con for happiness and we have an insight into the source of mourning in America: we're being conned 24/7, on every level and in every nook and cranny of the economy and society."

D.C. NIFO. It's the only way to be sure.

    Good paragraph from the article: "The most successful cons divert attention from the con-men to some other group of marks / victims. You got fleeced because of 'them'. The fact that everyone outside the nodes of power has been fleeced is left unsaid, as this realization might generate a common cause of the marks against those benefiting so richly from the cons."

    I put the single quotes around the word 'them' because in the article it's italicized. I'm sure when the commies finally collapse what's left of America they will blame free market capitalism and the con will continue...

    Welcome to the land of “Low Trust”. I’m traveling for MY business right now and I assure you as I make my way back home I choose my overnight lodging locations very carefully. Crime statistics being a considered metric. This doesn’t always jive well with the interstates that were created to connect Blue Hell Holes. Low Trust costs productivity but increased caution pays off in peace of mind. And the extra time spent driving around the hell holes is well spent listening to Bad Quaker podcasts by Ben Stone.
