I blame jesus.  
I think you may be onto something. 
The USA has been an outlier when it comes to religiosity compared to other first world nations. Is it strange that a people so willing to accept myth in one part of their lives also accept myth when it comes to economics? A few years back I was reading about some conservative wack job who was convinced that Adam Smiths "invisible hand of the market" was actually gods hand.
 
Market fundamentalists invoke faith all the time so yah, I guess Jesus is to blame in a way.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
