You certainly hit the nail on the head.

A very large segment of the American population has been manipulated into supporting an ideology which benefits a tiny fraction at the economic apex of our society at the expense of everyone else who isn't among that "elite."

Anyway, I remember finding an article which compared broadband around the world. For about $11 a month, in Stockholm you got something like 50 Mbs upload/100 Mbs d/l, while at the other end of the spectrum you got at like $130 a month 5 Mbs upload/15 Mbs d/l via Comcast in Shreveport, LA. Darn that evil, wasteful socialism!!!

It's pretty obvious that greed as a motivation doesn't always have the best results, e.g., the above, or private contracting in the Iraq war (i.e., Halliburton, KBR, et al.)
