My dream of America II includes the concept of "improve self, but think of the team, too." Meaning, hard work will always pay off....but try to improve society while you're making your money. Put another way, don't poison the town water supply to save money on hazardous waste disposal.
How do we instill a sense of "National Pride" and teamwork into our citizens, to ensure Capitalistic Greed (which I'm not saying is a bad thing) doesn't override human decency and the desire to do Good?

Guns. Big, big guns. Public floggings too.

Capital Punishment for all those who don't comply.
If capital punishment makes you squirm, then I'll settle for involuntary sterilization. Having children is a privilage, not a right, and if you aren't what society needs, then your children won't be, either.
Perhaps, in some cases, retroactive sterilization would be in order. Hmmmm ...
