As a last resort, you could always go on a tax strike. Of course, there would likely be unpleasant consequences if you did. Two hundred plus years ago, people used to complain about "Taxation without Representation". Now, taxation is often out of control, in spite of or because of representation. If enough people dared to refuse to pay taxes as a protest, they could bring the government to a virtual standstill. Unfortunately, the politicians and the wealthy would hardly be affected at all.
We should get rid of politicians who are overly concerned with pleasing the wealthy. Vote them right out of office. Make sure that education doesn't become exorbitant for the less-fortunate and the middle-class alike. We should all do more to save and preserve the environment, and on and on. People with common interests should come together to promote their interests for a better world. And we should all try harder to strive to be the best we can possibly be in all areas of society. Otherwise, if we settle for mediocrity, especially in our choice(s) of leaders, life in America will likely continue to get worse and worse. Perhaps to the point where the sign in Dante's Inferno: " Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here" may apply to our once great nation.
