Vote in the interest of the greater good, vote for proper taxation (likely affecting you), and get involved with politics to encourage others to do the same. It's honestly the most people can do. It's not your fault the system sucks. (I'm assuming you're not fabulously wealthy where you can actually invest your money to bring about positive change, just don't-need-to-work weathly).

Well only semi-fabulously wealthy - I think that would be the case if I could claim it was all self-made money, since it was largely bequeathed somehow it doesn't feel as much like personal wealth. I do pay my share in taxes, especially property taxes not to mention constant bills for groundskeeping and such. People thinking having money makes you lazy and complacent, but I say it really only makes you more worried about money and your obligations to others.
