Unfortunately being greedy also applies to elected individuals, and the two party system has everything so messed up that it’s legal to bribe them.
Corporations own (or can heavily influence) the politicians that create all the rules. It is legal because of Citizens United. Meanwhile our two party system is also controlled by this flood of money, and they decide who can be voted for. They have also made it so another party can’t emerge or participate in real politics.
I don’t know what to say, but the whole thing seems unfixable to me. I will keep voting for the blue ties and cross my fingers, but I have doubts about things getting better in my lifetime.
Greedy is an inherent feature of corporations. It’s on people to elect officials willing to curb it for the public good

That’s not the fault of two parties. One party still lets it’s members be prosecuted for bribery
