This level of corruption could never have happened without the groundwork of general decay in American society. The social problems of alienation, irresponsibility, greed, sloth, and gluttony have been encouraged by the Corporate oligarchy, because they know a weakened, divided, dependent society is easier to control and exploit.
And all it takes to kill the bad guys is to refuse to participate. Or at least minimize your participation. (e.g. quit watching TV, buy local stuff, walk rather than drive, create real community).
It may however be too late to defeat the corporate/military/police junta which controls the federal government.
