What can we do to make term limits a real political issue?
Could be a permanent thread

But back to the discussion
So if wealth concentration and the loss of the middle class are but symptoms of problems in our society, what is the root cause?
You can have more than one root cause to any problem and typically do in complex problems and a thing can be both a root cause of one problem and a symptom of another.
The largest, most powerful, centralized entity that siphons the most money from you and your community is the federal government. Perhaps we could start from there as a root cause for what, as you say, "is pretty evident if you look at most any town what has happened to our society." And if we fix that problem, we can begin to return to, as you say, "what our society was based on."
