After-tax middle-class incomes in Canada — substantially behind in 2000 — now appear to be higher than in the United States. The poor in much of Europe earn more than poor Americans.

Interesting analysis in the article. I think this has been a trend since 1980s. Unfettered capitalism has a tendency to create these results.
The US regulatory code is over 80,000 pages when printed. You're right... totally unfettered at all. Those 80,000 pages are all blank. Jesus Christ do I wish I was as smart as you.
You know that the big corporations are the ones that lobby the hardest for the most regulations, because they hate competition, right?

That's exactly the point. That's not "unfettered capitalism." That is HIGHLY regulated corporatism, because corporations love regulations. If it were "unfettered," as in free, they would have to actually compete in the market, which they don't want to do.
Why do you think corporations didn't throw a cent at Ron Paul in '08 and '12 when he actually ran on a platform of what amounted to near-total deregulation? If deregulation benefited them, he would have had the highest-funded campaign in world history.
