The problem with capitalism is that it lacks a social conscious.

Commerce's #1 goal is to increase share holder value/generate profits, so ANY initiative that cuts into profits gets the run-around.

The role of the government is to step in and be the social conscious when commerce fails to self govern, which combated via lobbyists.

The US should take over healthcare and tax any company that does business, or has a business in the US. It should tax all commercial real estate holdings, this way the burden is shared by foreign investors.
