Just follow these easy steps!
- Create AKPD Message & Media, a public relations company that specializes in astroturfing.
- Attach yourself to the campaign of the candidate that eventually wins the 2008 Presidential election.
- Disengage yourself from AKPD Media, but under circumstances where the company ‘owes’ you 2 million dollars, which it will then pay back over time (we call this ‘income’).
- Become a Senior Advisor to the President.
- Have the President negotiate a tone-deaf deal between the White House and lobbyist group PhRMA to get the pharmaceutical industry to support health care rationing.
- ‘Discover’ one fine summer day that AKPD Media, the company that you created and which is still paying you money, has been given a fat advertising contract by PhRMA to astroturf health care rationing.
- Profit!
