People love to blame capitalism for rising wealth inequality, for the United States containing both billionaires and people on the edge of poverty. Government needs to redistribute wealth to make up for the unfairness inherent in capitalism. But capitalism isn't the problem, any more than dragon attacks or alien invasions are the problem--because neither dragon attacks nor alien invasions nor free markets actually exist in the United States. And THAT, for those who are paying attention, is the real problem.
