What is vastly different between US and other developed country area) the tendency of suing between people or enterprise, this create almost every industry has noticeable legal fee/lawyer fee when they conducted a business and punish the consumer at the end.b) the power of private enterprise to create regulation and influencing goverment decision which at the end creates oligopoly structures which dominate how the government react to particular industry (well you can say lobbyst).c) the dependencies to technology (without good understanding of its technology)d) the overcomplicated tax and building code , which at the end creates more profit  to big corporation only.These are the fair point in my own thinking why commision is high , especially #2, it's just the "realtor cartel" push that agenda to public and gov ; and since gov is part of private enterprise too, they just accept it LOLAmerica is one big giant corporation executed by Exxon,Apple,Microsoft, Blackrock, Blackstone, Shell , Lockheed and AIG  whole industrial powerhouse LOL :-) what you see in TV if they seems fighting is just a drama lol
