> Capitalism would _solve_ this - but government actively stands in the way of letting market pressures fix that market.

No it wouldn't, Capitalism caused the issue. Its called Regulatory Capture.

I don't understand how people can look at Capitalism and all of its failings and say more Capitalism is the solution. Maybe in theory, more Capitalism would solve it, but in theory Communism _should_ be a much fairer form of government and we all know how the USSR worked out.

To say that Capitalism didn't cause this in the first place is laughable. Its gotten to the point that corporations or special interest groups are just writing some of the laws and having lawmakers champion them as if its their own bill. its called Model Legislation.

Make no mistake this is full blown Late Stage Capitalism.
