The only way to fix it is..... [drum roll, please]
...
IF PEOPLE STOP ASKING THE GOVERNMENT TO DO WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING THEMSELVES.
When you have politicians telling you that they're going to take money from other people and give it to you, in direct contradiction to the Constitution, you need to not elect them.
This voting oneself "bread & circuses" is what brought down the Roman Republic and made it into a dictatorship, and it is what is destroying the US Republic.
Until then, it will only get worse. That means it's gonna get worse.

The only way to get back our republic is campaign finance reform. Right now the laws go to the highest bidder. If we stopped the big money from contributing to the politicians they would not be beholden to their interests. Right now we have the best politicians that money can buy. If the politicians got their money from a general fund then that would stop. Reining back lobbyists would also be necessary.

The truthful answer to this question is NO !
The American people have lost control, and the elected officials are in complete control, we,are just numbers to them, necessary to pay the taxes that they live off of.

1) VOTE!
2) Vote for who you agree with on the issues...not for someone just to keep another out of office
3) Actually pay attention to issues...stop being distracted by nonsense issues like gay marriage and flag burning
4) Americans should all own and be familiar with the U.S. Constitution.
5) STOP TRYING TO LEGISLATE CULTURE!!!!!! If someone has a different way to live stop trying to make a law to make them live as you do.

If the Media actually did their job, especially attacking lies rumors and innuendo doled out by politicians, people would then vote out the bad apples.

How to get it to work (again)? It takes people who are willing to stand up for their rights. It takes people who are willing to vote. It takes people who are willing to bring up the issues.
It takes people...
