# Why Can't America Fix Any of its Problems?
I talk about a lot of different issues on this journal: everything ranging from [beastiality](/2022/04/18/is-beastiality-immoral/) to [transgender athletes](/2022/03/27/on-transgender-athletes/) to [private online shopping](/2021/05/12/private-online-shopping/). On some of these issues, especially cultural issues, there exists legitimate disagreement. But on many there is a broad consensus, at least here in Burgerland. We're only made to believe there isn't because that's what's in the interests of the very rich and powerful.
-Why is it that policies which poll well among most Americans either never come to fruition or fall under attack? To take just one statistic from a Gallup poll, [70% of Americans have supported the legality of abortion in at least some circumstances since 1975](https://news.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx). So how can the U.S. supreme court release a draft opinion to overturn a woman's right to an abortion? Most Americans are concerned about [global heating](/glossary/#global-heating), but we never see any political will to act on it. The list goes on.

The reason for this is America has been steadily moving towards plutocracy for about half a century now. Plutocracy is an illegitimate form of government where the wealthy dictate politics and the will of the majority is ignored.
