Yes. The core cause of many of our problems is how capitalism is broken. Between removing individual contribution limits [0], unlimited monetary influence from Super PACs [1], and our weakening Antitrust laws (that somehow allowed AT&T and Time Warner to merge!), it's no wonder we're having the economic problems we have today.
But of course no politician talks about these things. Capitalism has not failed us; our politicians have failed us. We need to fix capitalism. Block giant mergers, break apart monopolies, ease the burden on small business, etc. More competition is better for everyone (except big corporations of course).
