What I don't understand is that you point out problems that we have under our current system and then say it is fine. The disadvantages claimed by you were created, or at least allowed to grow, under the system we currently have, so I don't get that argument at all.

I'm not suggesting it is fine - I'm a proponent of an idealistic solution (as in all things, I am a perfectionist). You discounted idealism and stated you were only looking for "what works".
Well - what we have works. So I don't understand why you would want to implement such drastic changes unless you view it from your own idealistic perspective.

As I have pointed out, I disagree.
