A Quote by Noam Chomsky
In the late 19th century there was a major union organization, Knights of Labor, and also a radical populist movement based on farmers.

In less than a century we experienced great movement. The youth movement! The labor movement! The civil rights movement! The peace movement! The solidarity movement! The women's movement!

and reorganizing the government to serve business interests, that would be a way to get stuff done faster and more efficiently.
