The problem with America right now seems to be apathy and lack of education/information together with exploitation of the lower classes. The majority of the American public has been increasingly intentionally cut off from both education and information while the government collects data on everyone. Declining standards of living leave people with less free time and less energy to think about the picture outside daily life. The educated and informed portion of America realizes how terrible it has become but lacks the cohesion or drive to do anything because the government is so entrenched it would require astronomical effort.
