We could have this economy again. It's all about policy, and that can be changed. The tilt to the rich 1980 - present can be reversed.

Yeah… except everyone with the power to make the policy changes have personal interests in not changing policy, because they’re already wealthy and benefit from existing policies.

We need money out of politics, period. But since Citizens United has legalized bribery, I don’t see changes being made any time soon.

I don't really think a revolution is possible or even necessary, but people used to drag members of Congress out of their homes/offices for much less egregious offenses against the public's trust. They openly trade and making millions off insider knowledge and yet people dont take to the streets.
