After Barack Obama's first year of presidency it is becoming clear that the US system of government is not working. The need to fund raise means that politicians court the large companies who are making money in the status quo and do not want serious change. The only time that change becomes easy is when their is profit to be made. It can be argued that if the major companies are profitable so are the workers but this is only true of the educated and employed. For change to occur people in charge need to be free of others trying to maintain the status quo at the cost to the disadvantages.
