The only person who would have the balls or stupidity to re-make the system is first going to have to kick the chair out from under the current system. It might be good for the long term but how long would you expect him to live?
In my part of the world I expect things to steadily regain.

It's true what you say, however the nature of (most) businesses will always be to look out for themselves and screw everything else. We need governments for regulating businesses. So to that end we have to make sure that the people we put in office represent us or else vote them out.
Off topic, how about the term "big government"? Is that bullshit or what? At what point does a government become "big"? What dollar value exactly? People using that term have no idea what they are talking about. If you asked 200 million people to tell you when exactly a government becomes "big". You'll get 200 million different answers. I just wants something efficient that works. (of course also highly subjective)
