For democracy to be restored for real in the United States, we'd have to see a few things happen. One, there would need to be strong legislation in place to fight insider deals in government. The anticorruption amendment Lessig has talked about is a good start. Two, there needs to be a complete redistricting of the United States under very specific guidelines to put an end to this gerrymandering bullcrap. We should seriously consider raising the number of Congressmen and increase representation all across the US. Gerrymandering is becoming a far larger problem for the long term than any campaign finance anything. Three, there has to be an end to all these corrupt subsidies like the the farm bill and let companies fail and succeed by the market and not by the corrupt government's fiat. That includes banks.
