9. I blame the constitution
The constitution is being subverted by 2 things that the
founders did not include, finance/corporations and electronic media.

Were the framers to include in the constitution an article describing
artificial persons and their limited rights, along with a central
banking system, likely we would not be in this mess, as there
would be tight controls on money manipulating elections and bribing
officials.

Were the framers to preconceive of electronic media, surely they
would have put down intensive regulations to keep said media from
corrupting and subverting their democratic republic.

As it stands you're dead on, but to end this problem either
requires a nuclear annihilation of all of the government today, or
a serious return to the principals underlying the constitution.
