Neither Washington DC, Wall Street, Mexico, China, the Feds, nor the media are the cause of our problems - nor are they the cure. What happens after all the bogeymen have been vanquished?

This is counterproductive since it does not guarantee any beneficial results in the end. Nobody can succeed by following rules in the first place.
