The United States is a plutocracy, the definitive expression of the narcissistic whims of economic and administrative elites. The system punishes the poor and then faults the poor (and someone with more debts than assets and a non-stellar income with which to pay those debts is poor) for their poverty.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
