I think this is a great idea and Gross National Happiness should immediately become a major part of the Democrat's platform in the USA. Of course, then the Republicans are likely to counter with Gross National Morality.
Pretty soon, we can regulate and mandate Gross National Happiness, Gross National Morality, Gross National Love, Gross National Sharing, Gross National Caring, Gross National Thinking, Gross National Playing, Gross National Working, and we can mandate that people do what they can to improve those. We are entering into a brave new world, with prosperity for all! Democratize happiness! Democratize morality! Democratize work, and play, and love! Happiness, and love, and morality - democratized!
How come no one has tried this previously? It's such an obviously good idea, I can't see where anything could possibly wrong with it... How could anyone not think that democratizing people's lives won't produce the best possible society?
