Unemployment, and so on

I disagree. We won't change anything until we eliminate the strings entirely. As long as there are puppets, there will always be someone new willing to step in and pull the strings. We need to eliminate the ability of politicians to act as puppets, and this is something we can control.

The problem is with both the puppets and the puppeteers. There's enough blame to go around. The problem is that the government is made up of really rich people, and are being thrown sack fulls of money by really rich people to make sure that they both stay rich.

The system is broken because you can't get elected to office without being rich, and once you are rich you really can't be trusted to govern a population of non-rich people in their best interests.

I'd really like to hear how politicians can be snipped of the puppet strings. You can eliminate legal lobbying, but I fear that would just lead to shady deals made in back alleys involving cloaks and briefcases full of money, and nothing would change.
