Do not be butthurt because the system is broken. Go out and do something about it. Talk to the correct government officials and let them know how you feel. They are only in power because of the voters. Pick up the phone and call your local reps. A reform is needed, that is for damn sure, It will not happen by QQ'ing on FFR Forums.

Take the amount of energy and time you have spent in this thread and talk to your local of age voters/representatives/etc. You will be amazed at the time they will give back to you. Even if it is a simple email to their offices. More than likely you will reach some who actually gives a fuck.
This p much, but make sure you're educated on the matter if you're trying to address it. Going to a representative and saying "Well, I see people buying beer n stuff with stamps n i dun like dat" won't get you any serious response from people who know their stuff.
