What you are not addressing is where the real money is in this country. For example, the richest 50 families in the UK own more wealth than half of the UK's population. So if you want to "fix" the country, you have to redesign the system that currently ensures that more and more wealth goes to the few. The big problem is that, in the main, the mainstream media and now more & more social media is owned & controlled by the oligarchs whose mission is to tell you that they are not the issue and cause of your problems but the poor people in India are.

I await the answers to this with some interest, when did this happen, capitalism used to be about rewarding hard work and now it's *******ized into this thing were a few people at the top have literally everything and everyone else struggles to varying degrees and wasn't it Einstein who said
there will come a time when the rich control the media and it will become impossible for ordinary people to make informed decisions I don't recall if he actually said it or it's attributed to him and suspect if he did he thought we were already there considering the power of newspapers in those days with Mccarthyism and the
reds under the bed, wonder what he'd make of things these days
