Too often, for whatever reason, the focus seems to be on the little guy. I think to resolve this and other problems, you need to think big picture.

For example, one of the complaints of the right here is illegal immigration, and how illegals should be rounded up and kicked out. I think if we want to get illegals out, the solution is not to raid people's homes at 3AM, or grab kids at school, but to go after the thing that keeps them here... jobs. Go after the businesses that use illegals, revoke their licenses, and with no jobs, the people will leave on their own.

The same with drugs. Don't go after Tim the college kid buying weed, or Ty the dealer being the only moneymaker in his familiy, go after the manufacturers. IIRC NPR had a story recently where it was discovered companies were sending thousands of pills a month to a small village of a hundred. OBVIOUSLY there wasn't that big a demand, those pills were going on the market. Yet the companies didn't care because they were getting paid, and "requests" for them to stop were ignored. The DEA agent who was about to bring major charges agaisnt them suddenly had his files needing "review", and he was eventually replaced. Seems like the money being made kept both the companies AND gvmt from putting a stop to it. AG Sessions said he wants to throw the book at the common criminals, yet like always, it's the big fish who are the real problem, and the ones who always get away.

Every year it's more and more clear that the US gvmt works to exploit the people, not serve them. Someone talked about how people don't value life anymore. Things like this trickle down from the top of society over time. So either they have to start caring, which won't happen unless they're forced, or the masses become violent and revolt. Until then, the rich and powerful will abuse the masses more every year.
