You are mostly part of the sixty percent or so that is clueless. You are hurt and angry and don't understand why, but it feels good to vent. The far left will work hard to convince you that the right (Wall Street types) are the devil incarnate and want to keep you enslaved, making money for them. The right will try to convince you it is your patriotic duty to send your sons and daughters to foreign wars to protect your freedom and our democratic society. The truth is that the left just wants to be your new owners (its thier turn, re-distribute the wealth, etc.), and the right wants you to die protecting what they have. This is capitalism and democracy. Learn to live with it. The alternatives are socialism, communism, and anarchy. They all have the same outcome, those who learn to work the system (whatever it is) will always rule over those who don't.
The alternatives are not limited to your list. We can have a reformation in the way our democracy works without losing the identity of democracy. Not necessarily completely change the system, but rather shrink it and try to get morally stable people to lead our country.
