You are just continuing to prove my point. You cite countries like Finland who have chosen to do the opposite of what you propose and let the free markets decide wages rather than let the government impose its will to create this utopia. Everything you've talked about have been examples of capitalism at its best, yet you think that government can create laws that will change American culture, which is really what you're railing against. I agree that unions have been bastardized in the US at the detriment to themselves, but there are many examples, like coal miners, where non-union workers are actually paid more than their union counterparts.
If anything, you are complaining about unfair influence that business has on our politicians that get short-sighted people into office to do their bidding, and I totally agree with you on that. But that's not the fault of capitalism, its the fault of voters.
