Every party at every point in the system is various shades of complicit in fleecing us. That's the magic of the system. It's all divided up in so many ways and so many of the feedback loops touch through the people getting screwed that it's impossible to build a "these guys might not be wholly responsible, but they're responsible enough things will get better if we push them off a cliff or legislate them into poverty or whatever" consensus you need to build to change things 17% of the US GDP is healthcare, now obviously there's a lot of nurses and random courier drivers and all sorts of other stuff in there, but they would all need to take some amount of haircut for us to get fleeced less. The GDP contribution of slavery was ~13% just preceding the civil war and credible moves (i.e. electing Lincoln) to make them take a haircut caused, you know, the civil war. There is likely no "clean" way to fix this problem other than a century long frog boiling exercise
