If I get the last word before the topic closes does that mean I win?
Seriously, I really hope the US is able to fix its system. Sadly, I think a system that benefits one group disproportionately over time will continue to function until it reaches an absolute breaking point. I think all systems operate in much the same way - the weaknesses grow until failure mode. Think of the current financial megafraud/austerity/state overreach factors as symptoms of malignancy in a system.
You need political chemotherapy (barring a violent plutocrat-ectomy). It won’t be fun, it will just barely keep your system alive while beating the problem, and it might not work. Also, they will try their best to come back.
