That naive MF'er was an intellect, not a policy maker, but he influenced the climate in which policy was made. So when he made statements such as "there is one and only one social responsibility of business -- to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits," policies were inacted that have resulted in the US being in the position she finds herself.

Laissez-faire capitalism, indeed.

In regards to the two-party system, the Rs and Ds are simply two competing subsidiaries wholly-owned by Corporate. Regardless of which sub enacts policy, it will no doubt benefit Corporate.
