- Zero Sum Use
.
The way George W. Bush exercises his office has been referred to as Zero Sum Use of authority by some social scientists. It is said that it creates its own opposition and that can be seen so obviously in the way our nation's incursions into the Middle East are creating a powerful opposition against us. There is only one way such a force can maintain their balance of power and that is to totally subdue their opposition. In other words, the route Bush is taking will lead to a totalitarian government in the United States. So, an equal and opposite force is built up against it and the result is a zero sum. No body wins and everyone loses.

I see it as a major problem of unbridled capitalism.
