Politically, we are not free. Meanwhile, the free market is indeed free with not too much regulation going on.

The fix is therefore not found with having our government regulate itself and society better, but to get what the Founding Fathers gave us to protect and that we did not keep.

The Founding Fathers did two things really well. One the one hand, they established a Federal-State framework in which the political powers are concentrated. That is very smart for a large nation because a political nation going into twenty different directions will not survive very long.

On the other hand, they wrote We The People and actually gave constitutional powers to the People. A Republic, if you can keep it. And we didn't keep it.

Notice how the Founding Fathers established the larger framework, but not the interior framework. Federal-State above, and the empowered People at ground level.

What happened next is the dumb part of our political system: the States ended up copying and pasting the Federal setup into the State setup. They duplicated the limitations of the Federal setup. Insult to injury, the local levels subsequently used that same limited political system as well. Three times the limitations that were put in place only for the nation as a whole. That means there are two levels where limitations are in place that have no real function, other than suppressing us.

And that is where the Founding Fathers were brilliant: They gave the People power.

In the Bill of Rights, the State and local governments are not allowed to disparage or deny the rights of the people, and yet they are. The political limitations put in place disparage the right of the people (in this case the voters) to be represented well. Yellow, Orange, and Green to put this simplistically are missing in our local and State elections. That is unconstitutional.

The State is harder to work over than the cities and counties. The State got constitutional freedoms, so 'loopholes' are available for them to hide behind.

Cities and counties, however, have nothing to hide behind. The People are in control of pushing back their local governments' overreach. A perfect start to get the same system in place that they have in Denmark. We don’t want it for the Federal level (and honestly we can’t get it for the Federal level), yet we are shooting ourselves in the foot if we don’t get it everywhere else.
