I agree with albionmoonlight. Without some regulation, the top capitalists will leverage their market position in ways that deter free trade.

You need referees that flag holding and pass interference. You do not need arbitrary new rules, like passes can't travel more than 50 yards or defenders have to wear their shoes on the wrong foot.

For me, it keeps coming back to employment. We narrow the gap through full participation in the economy.

Right now, we're at a record low (since women joined the labor force in numbers) in terms of the percentage of people working full time. That puts an enormous strain on the safety net, however we define it.

I'd say something like "nothing else matters" other than those job numbers, but that would be overly dramatic. I do think so many other problems would cease to be problems if we could just get Americans working again. Bring back manufacturing. They're not perfect, but our factories are far cleaner than the ones we currently use in Asia.
