    There have been studies that the laws and regulations being passed are completely indifferent to the will of the American populace. If you only consider the top 10% (but especially the top 1%) the correlation is almost one to one, the higher the percentage of people in that group want something, the higher the change it is passed in Congress.

    As for how we get them to listen to us now, and undo decades of entrenched apathy, idk. Excessive violence?
