I agree with everything you said, except that the lawyer industry is the precise mechanism for effecting the plan you described.
One could also claim that shyster slip and fall lawyers are responsible for weakening our economy, specifically our health care system ie John Edwards. This is a double assault on our health care system, the other "front" is the illegal aliens and how they're helping to break it.
Consider the fact that the press brings an issue to the public and makes "news" out of it. In 5, 10 or however many years when our health care system has been broken by shyster lawyers and illegal immigrants....oops, time to declare CRISIS by the our enemy within (aka the media). Hmm, I wonder what the solution will be? None other than government enforced death aka "socialized medicine"!!! Then the phony politicians will pick up the ball and run with it...
