I think John Locke had it about right in his Two Treatises on Government.

 

-Labor is the origin and justification for property. Contract or consent is the basis for government and fixes its limits. Behind both doctrines is personal freedom. The state of nature knows no law, but men are subject to moral law.

 

There are too many fingers in the pie. Too many power brokers, too many laws and not enough freedom. Rather then try to wreck what we have to "rebuild" I'd rather whittle away at what we DO have that is silly or outdated and in some cases smothering. So saith I.

This is going to sound crazy  I know we all see the problems..

I would like to know just how we would physically set up institutions like government,,

Maybe any major laws or constitutional changes must be brought before the people in  a vote.

limit the money corporations or  individuals can invest in a political campaign  complete transparency in government, police and military funding 

Limit the amount salaries and perks of banking and stock market officials and employees

complete transparency in all financial transactions

I do not know  just thinking

complaining is just complaining  , I believe realistic targets need to be set so they can be achieved
