We just need more independently wealthy tycoons period. Not celebrities who get paid for shilling IP, but businessmen who built up an industry. Ironically the balance of power needs to move away from the government and towards elite Americans - but there need to be a lot more of them to diversify their ideological positions. The way the system works now the government and corporations have colluded thru regulation, taxation, and the education system to shrink the pool of home-grown tycoons and make sure they're all part of the same club. The lower the pool, the fewer elites there will be on our side. Unfortunately that's a long term goal. America is too consumer-oriented and doesn't produce enough producers.

We have too much government corporate cooperation to prevent small business from succeeding and protect big business.
