You can not have any two of the above without the third piece. It really is that simple. What we have now are unregulated businesses blaming workers and being backed by the GOP, lazy entitled workers who bleed the system and blame businesses while being backed by Democrats, and a government that is being used as a business by profiteers from both 'sides' that have no interest in the greater goals of our society. That's why it is broken. It won't be fixed until people take off their 'red shirts' and 'blue shirts' long enough to realize we are actually all on the same team.
