Your post here has logic and I agree with what you have said. The system
is indeed bad down here and in need of drastic reform. It is truly
unfortunate that those we would entrust to reform it are those most
affected by any reforms.
I honestly believe that these much needed reforms will never see the light
of day, and it truly saddens me as an American to have had this opinion
forced upon me by those I would much rather have respected as I've made my
way through life.

The problem with the system is that rule of law has been debased and people
who run the system have learned how to "game the system". The system, as
devised, is fine. People though, have learned to ignore the parts that are
"inconvenient" (amongst other factors). In some places they call this
"corruption".
