If you let all the blood perfuse only the big toe, the brain, heart and extremities are gonna die.

Right now the "big toe" is gorged with $$$$$$$$$$$$$

We need to remove the tourniquet from the toe and let the money flow through the rest of the body.

That doesn't involve a significant restructuring of the system, which cannot happen without devastation to the masses. TPTB will never agree to fix what isn't broke to them without violent pressure exerted on them from the people.

And you can just forget in the US having Congress do anything that might drain any blood from the toe.

Money is the answer...unless we want bloody revolution
