11. you don't understand. the headlines will be (hell, already are) co-opted:

for instance, your "After repeal of anti-trust laws, Wal-Mart's flurry of acquisitions ends with their controlling entire retail sector of US economy" headline is more likely to read:

ANTITRUST LAWS GIVE WAY TO INCREASED COMPETITION
wal-mart's battles with subsidiaries for lowest prices

see, THIS is how a monopoly looks when the media plays along!

and this one is just WAY off: "With millions staggering under heavy debt, indentured servitude makes a return as a way to pay off debt."

try this instead:

MASSIVE JOBS PROGRAM, MILLIONS CLEAR OUT CRUSHING DEBT
bush's "sensitive slavery" program a major success
