    What you’re describing is unfettered capitalism

    And why is it unfettered?

    Because we don’t have a democracy. The wealthy control our government and its effects.

    we’re still the ones choosing the politicians who then choose to be bought

    No we’re not. Go read up on how much it costs to get a meeting with a presidential candidate at the national convention, and then try and tell me we’re the ones choosing the candidates.
