In America, if you build a better mousetrap, the makers of Decon and other anti rodent products use the FDA, DEA, IRS and other alphebet industries to attempt to make your product illegal. When that fails they simply make a similar product while criminalizing the distribution of the original inventors good.
The step you need to make in your understanding is to grasp that what you are lamenting is not a failure of capitalism but its success. The founders revolted as much against the british east india company - successful capitalism, not yet named - as they did against king george.
We need to emulate the founders. We need to outlaw WHATEVER name you want to give that crap on Wall Street. Name it petunia palunia, but OUTLAW it. Any attempt to "reform" is will be MANAGED BY THEM.
