I think the ideas are generally good steps. but none of them really deal with the root of the problem. Which is that too much money in the hand of individuals is a recipe for corruption and abuse of democracy.

The best way to change it is to enforce a WEALTH LIMIT of say 20 million. no individual needs more than that to live a comfortable life. If they have excess then they have to give it away to people with less or have it automatically shared to all. it would redistribute wealth to the 99 and get the economy going again the mechanics of enforcement maybe a challenge initially but over time woud go global. see the molecularlism charter:
