57. Taking apart the machine piece by piece is taking too long and causing suffering and worse to our citizens.

Destroying the machine is what needs to be done. Not slowly taking a piece here and there while it continues to damage our citizens.

That is going to create more suffering that does not have to happen, except for those who do not want things to change too much because of their own involvement with the underlying reasons for all of this, as well as their socioeconomic position which will allow them to hang on in this situation longer than most of us can.

Do the 'elite' in this country really expect the rest of us to just sit and suffer while they wait till this affects their own bottom line?

Why should the poor do that?
