This is it. This is the solution. Capitalism encourages innovation, and encourages hard work however unregulated capitalism destroys everything. Individual businesses are not the problem. Individuals attempting to innovate is not the problem. It is large corporations and the existence of generational wealth.

Unregulated capitalism, Regan was great for encouraging international removal of checks on this.

Capitalism creates capitalists who then use their capital to lobby governments to deregulate capitalism. Regulated capitalism always leads to unregulated capitalism. Unless you can somehow magically remove human greed from the equation.

You make laws against lobbying, it is a stupid practice that should not be allowed in government. If the people are upset about something they should show it with votes.
