I don't know if there is much the average voter can do to correct this problem. Humans seem to have evolved with the natural inclination to first take care of ourselves, our families and those who support us. Our polititians and those in power are just doing what comes natural because that is the way humans evolved. No matter how much they get they cannot help themselves from gaming the system for more even if it kills the very system from which they benefit. Those in power will continue to take and take no matter which political party they are affiliated with. I believe this is one reason for revolutions and why almost every government eventually fails.
