what would it take to reform a government?

what would it take to reform a government?
Im from America, but im going to assume that most of the major countries have this problem as well. Personally i like the idea behind the American government, but i cant help but think hasnt the last 200+ years fundamentally changed the way we need government? I mean at this point in America its hard to get anything done because its so bureaucratic and we are in desperate need of some economic changes (mostly in the form of rasing taxes in my opinion) but nothing can get done in a timely manner. I feel that right now the only thing thats keeping America out of depression is government spending, but it cant keep the economy alive by itself and the people on the top (who by the way arent paying taxes) are hording all the money they can get, which in the long run is probably going to cause America to slip into depression. So im just wondering what would it take to kind of wipe the slate clean, in a well established nation, and get rid bureaucratic nonsense so that something could actually change?

Just to get everyone else started, I personally feel that the only way anything of this sort can happen is if we do slip into depression. Which is extremely unfortunate because at this point any depression in a major nation will likely cause a global depression, which would lead to bloody revolution everywhere.

Is there any other way to go to avoid this?
