Don't worry, you will grow out of it (thats not patronizing, just an observation on both me and many around me over decades). Life is complex, way more complex than you think it is and often a least-bad solution is used and stays around.
All you have to keep remembering is that whatever solution to the problem is, it has to work reliably long term on its own on real lazy and greedy folks out there, not some handwavy wishful statements without much substance and utterly unrealistic expectations.
Capitalism is fine. You just need to add a bit of inescapable wealth tax or similar solid mechanism. Which is unrealistic in US, hence the inevitable direction its heading towards.
