A core flaw expressed by many of the US federalists and founders was a magical thinking belief in the assumed virtue of those involved in government. (Oh and that virtuous purity papered over rape and ownership of other human beings for profit.) This may be adjacent to what Gödel discovered but never disclosed publicly.

Tax the shit out of extreme income leading to a middle class resurgence, make stock buybacks and PACs and buying politicians illegal, and make wealth subservient to government that is, in turn, subservient to We the People.
