This system cannot be reformed. It has always been run by the corporations, from Roosevelt to Kennedy. The rampant level of corruption and criminality is just impossible to conceal during times of financial crisis, when the whole system is unwinding--there is nowhere to hide.
America is a two party oligarchy, where both parties represent different sections of finance capital. America has never been a functioning Democracy. The American dream was made possible by a century of US government backed coupes and assassinations installing puppet regimes that were compliant to US dictates. Hussein was the last guy who attempted to cross the US and was diposed and executed for it. The only difference between British imperialism and US imperialism was that the British actually built an Empire by occupation, wheras the US controlled countries by covertly controlling governments so as to keep up the facade of democracy During the 50,s and sixties, the US population represented 6% of the world's population while consumed 50% of its commodities. The dream was always unsustainable.
