I would not say all, but a substantial number of Americans do not understand the political/economic system that makes it possible for them to thrive, and all that is needed is a majority of Americans to ruin it for everyone. I, myself, don't have a lot of faith in the American electorate.
I agree with you. A few years back I said that 2/3 of Americans were brain dead. They knew little about America and what America needs to survive. I still feel that at least 1/3 of the electorate never grew up. These lost soles will destroy America if they could and not even realize that they will destroy themselves.
God bless Newt.
