The system is a massive network, not a monolith. It is a consistent force of pressure, and such pressure cannot be done-away with by a pen stroke.

Consider that there are tens of thousands of employees accompanied by massive business interests and relentless foreign interests. Our Congress has 535 members, each member having up to 25 lobbyists around them. Over a third of former congressmen become lobbyists and many lobbyists seek election as various politicians.

Add to this the biased and manipulative Media, enemy of the people, and the ever-growing financial system. All this is defended by intense regulations and litigations, a legal system we have barely begun to tackle. If you wish to act, find a role and support whatever helps.
