The US has done a great job of producing material abundance but not at creating satisfaction. Maybe our policies should not aim to maximize economic output but to improve health, community bonds, and other forms of wellness.

I would contend that it's not the government's job to make people happy, but to create the conditions under which people can make themselves happy. (That, and to punish people who harm others.)

The writer is saying that certain aspects of society - the media, colleges, etc. - are purposefully undermining society in order to be able to implement their socialist agenda. I'd have a hard time arguing against that idea.
