    Supporting Politicians that aren’t rich and aren’t corrupt doesn’t address the meme?

      It addresses one aspect of a corrupt government, which is part of one of two main points brought up. It’s also one aspect where you’ll have to work through the corruption. It does nothing to address billionaires who, as others have already discussed by, would be pushing directly against such efforts.

      Guess who’s going to have more pull? You, or the billionaires that already have the government in their pocket?

      We can debate all day about which step is first (it’s all of them), but it’s inarguable that simply hoping for a savior to come along and somehow magically win through a corrupt system isn’t going to be the avenue to fix this mess.
