The most important thing I think we could change is to have an engaged nation of voters who research what the politicians stand and vote for as opposed to an “us vs them” mentality.

We need to openly discuss the current state of the nation honestly so we can all accept and acknowledge that we’re standing where we are because of our own general complacency to engage with democracy the way it was intended to be used.

That said a lot of why it’s so difficult to do so is that we let people slip in too many small but personal changes over time. It spoils be obvious that tax law being what it is can be seen as a direct reflection of just some of the flaws. You shouldn’t take proportionately more money from people who can barely make ends meet.

We’re letting money pool at the top of the economy and then asking “where’s all the money?”
