One problem is "democracy in the economic system". We are, politically speaking, clearly, a representative oligarchy. Economically speaking, we talk past one another regarding whether we are shareholders or stakeholders regarding capitalism. Clergy are subsidized, in large part, to suppress this discussion; and when it rises, to keep the framework terminologies muddled. Kudos for raising the issue.
Politicians may "care" about us but they pass policy legislation based only upon the funded us.
