Right.  And in a democracy, the people who are responsible for that in
the end comes down to us, the voters. 

So the reason the young see what they do, is that the government (and
corporate lobbyists) have interfered with the market, so we have less
capitalism and not more.

Right, although I am not sure I would say "less capitalism" but I would
say "less fairness in capitalism."

But, when it comes to your warning I agree. It is an interesting question
how we can educate people in the blessings of capitalism, so they do _not_
grow up into politicians who want to "fix" the market and by fixing it,
they destroy it.

All we can do is to make it work by example.
