People gotta get politically active, they have the power, they just don't know they have it. America, especially since McCarthyism, has created a nation of workers, and everybody is about getting theirs, while not checking for the next person, this isolation makes it easy for corporations and legislators backing them to continue doing what they do.
The workers need to rise up, simple as that, of course the steps will be difficult but until it is attempted, no one could reasonably convince me that the American people couldn't have this country flipped over in a year if they really wanted it.
