Why have the Majority Of Americans become so very much in favor of Feudalism?

[Moonwalk]

16. True! We saw it this time around in their "We Built this!" motto. As if every individual can....

...make themselves whatever they want to be without any help from anyone. All they have to do is want it and put their nose to the grindstone. And if it doesn't happen, if it doesn't get built, it's their fault. Most horrific of all, whoever did get it built--never mind how--must be a superior person deserving of a leadership position, no questions asked. It's why the GOP is always putting up men who have done well in business for office; and why they try to make Dem candidates without business experience seem suspicious--as if business experience = good, honest leader. Yet business experience certainly didn't make Hoover or G.W. Bush a good, honest presidents (G.W. wasn't an good honest businessman either); and lack of business experience didn't make Lincoln, either Roosevelt or Eisenhower bad presidents.

It's Frankenstein monster thinking tacked together from the worst aspects of the Puritan work ethic and the most extreme Randian objectivism. The successful man gets to hoard all the credit for his success and claim superiority and leadership status because of it; the person who fails or needs help is shunned and viewed as worthless.
