Leewong.. YOU and everyone like you are part of the problem.
As far as my thoughts...
I think there are more than 2 sides... making this not a coin metaphor.
The military/police aren't the problem... and 'The dole' aren't the problem.
Guys... we are humans. Odds are that 100% of the people reading this right now will not live more than a century... Most, probably much less.
The people that are in charge of the Executive and Legislative branches are the people that control this countries assets. It's not one person or 2... My guess is a handful... maybe 10 or 20...? The only part of the Judicial branch that could possibly do anything about the state of our country is The Supreme Court, and it has become a small hurdle that the other 2 branches 'deal' with when they have to. And in reality, The Supreme Court bows down to the other 2.
With all this being said, the 5-50 people that have inherited this country's wealth and power and secrets are going to hold on to them for as long they can, or until they die, if they do die.
hahah Rawradin your an idiot omfg troll whatusaying vampires rule our country?

These "Ruling Elite" (Commonly known as an Oligarchy) will pass their power down to their children and so on and so forth as it has been done throught Human history, until "someone" does something about it.
As Lord Acton said, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

How to change this country? Here's my list:
1) Educate yourself
2) Stop paying your taxes (optional)
3) Stop eating Sugar, Salt, and mass produced Meats. (Absolutely Mandatory)
4) Turn off the 'News' --- All forms of it.. All the main media channels are completely and abso-fucking-lutely owned by politicians and people who are paid by politicians. All of your local news stations are in the same boat, just on a smaller scale.
5) Get involved in your local government (Do whatever you can, go to city council meetings, I believe in most parts of this country they are open to the public... Shit, run for city council!)
6) VOTE --- And be fucking learned on what you're fucking voting on.
7) Excercise.
I could probably come up with a few more points... But I think this list might be quite challenging to even the most SINCERE activist.

I think I made my point rather clear. Dont become apathetic. Organize a movement or become part of one that suits your goals. Individually, you cant do much but when a crowd gets together for a common cause shit changes. Essentially, what you said without deliberately trying to be divisive and with as little insults as possible.
My other point, since you didnt seem to read or understand it was that things are becoming more and more transparent everyday. Not only that but we have the benefit of the internet to communicate, organize, and share information that previous generations never enjoyed. It will have tremendous effects on the way we govern and participate in government. Politicians will find it tougher and tougher to pull the wool over our eyes and the populace can easily obtain the information they need to make better decisions.
