Almost all of it perfectly legal corruption, though, Chalie.

And lets be realistic, this country was founded upon capitalistic greed and white supremacy.

True. Let's be even more realistic, it was mostly based on White Anglos Saxon supremacy, Charlie. I'm White and I can assure you, I am not reigning supremely.

Unless you have a full scale bloody revolution which will remove the corrupt and the system that supports and upholds them, nothing is going to change.

And if we do that we will have another crop of elite ruling over us, Charlie. Sad but true.

That means changing America as we know it and the way thats its always been. However we can incorporate some socialist principles to limit the power of these corrupt people.

You mean we retro the laws somewhat to go back to pre-REAGANOMICS?
Capital idea. Now just try to convince any DEMOCRAP or REPUBLICAN to do that.
You can't. the system of
nod nod wink wink insider capital/ insider politician is far too calcified into the system to get it done.

Most of the wealth of the nation is in the hands of a few people while most of the people in America are work-class people.

Yup. And we can thank the tax system for that.

If you do they math, no one should be poor in this country, but on the same token, a comparatively handful of people should *NOT* be holding the majority of the wealth in this country.

The primary feature of capitalism is that nothing succceeds like success. Once you have a cpaital advantage you can capitalize on that to make that advantage greater until it is virtually impossible for the superwealthy not to be the winners at ever turn.
Throw in a government dead set against changing that, and a propaganda machine that makes the mentally challenged willing class traitors, and you've got youself the roadmap to neo-feudalism.
Remember Charlies, the peasants nearly always loved the King. It's human nature for the truly stupid to worship their masters.

They have what they need and then some, yet still want more. Its greed and there's only one group of people on this ploanet with that type of a greed complex[J---], but thats a whole different thread.

Greed, unbridled greed (which is not just enlightened self-interest) is a mental disease.
But it's not one we're likely to recognize as such because anyone who tries to announce this fact finds themselves beset by the guard-dogs of the greedy. (See hippies, death of the movement)
Like JP Morgan said:
I have no fear of the working class because I know I can always hire one worker to kill another worker.
