Unfortunately, >>50-san, in the US, those who have money are the ones who have power. It doesn't matter that people can vote because votes can simply be bought. Therefore, things don't get done because the rich minority likes to keep the general public down. Also, the small minority banks on the fact that the majority are ill-informed about the current issues of the day.

It's sad to say, but the majority of US citizens honestly don't care about the underlying political current. They simply vote for whoever payed the most for advertisements. That's how we got into our current situation.

Basically, the government in our country is not built on the principal of fairness and equal power as most people perceive it to be. Instead we are stuck with a massive powerhouse allied with some of the richest people in the world who recycle their power, essentially locking the common man out of the political process. In essence, the public at large cannot do anything about that small minority because they have effectively cut us out of the running.
