In the absence of real campaign finance reform, is the middle class really that empowered to "not let this happen" through their elected representatives? Those representatives, after all, are currently much more beholden to their financial masters--the corporations and its wealthier beneficiaries (executives, prominent shareholders) which provide large campaign donations.
Not that it can't change. There are just a lot of steps between here and there.
