What’s to be done…

The power and money is held by the government and big business. Collusion between the two means that the interests of the little guy will almost always be ignored. Or they will pass something they can convince you is in your interest without actually being productive to that end.

The solution is to put a barrier between moneyed interests and the government to avoid collusion. And to implement an independent bureau within the government that is tasked with finding corruption and wastefulness and that has the power to compel changes.
