The only difference is that instead of a moderately capitalist society the U.S is now a corporatist one, where government helps corporations and corporations help government, all at the expense of the free market and real capitalism.

Yeah this. If you want to get angry about inequality and corruption you have to blame the right people. Blaming the rich for being rich or companies for trying to make money does nothing.

The US is very far from a free market in things like patent laws, agricultural subsidies, telecom monopolies, and a public-private mess in healthcare, higher education and military contracting.
