Yes. We. Can.

Yeah, I would like to see changes so that just about any position, (judges, congressmen, perhaps even un-elected officials) could be removed or recalled, given enough votes

Totally. Lets start by recalling all the "Bankers".

why not simply put those into place, who get the most votes, like by election (directly or indirectly).

or by vote of by appropriate (with sufficient expertise) institutions if average people are incited too much, too easily or whenever the matter being discussed requires academic knowledge, in the best interest of the people being represented by them.

Well, I have never been a fan of "Bankers" (even though I have worked in a bank) but this just floored me:

Wachovia Admits It Laundered Millions in Mexican Drug Cash
Wachovia bank executives have admitted that the banking giant laundered millions of dollars for Mexican drug lords between 2003 and 2008, prosecutors announced in Miami this afternoon.

The bank has promised to pay $160 million in fines and penalties and to set up new safeguards within a year to prevent drug money from coming through the bank.
If it fails in that effort, Wachovia could face criminal charges, says Jeffrey Sloman, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District.

"Wachovia's blatant disregard for our banking laws gave international cocaine cartels a virtual carte blanche to finance their operations," Sloman said at a meeting in downtown Miami. "[They] laundered at least $110 million in drug proceeds."

What a crock. Nobody at Wachovia will EVER face criminal charges and we all know it. The "Bankers" (code for you know who) own our system.
