You're right, and almost nothing in the last election had to do with the "private sector" as an institution. But consider what the concept of it means. Freedom of choice leads to the best solution of social AND economic problems. Because millions of ideas and efforts, each subject to trial and error and competition, in which the best solution becomes obvious by comparing results to all others.
It seems 99% (based on election results) belive that freedom is OK when it comes to what cereal to buy. But when it comes to an issue really important (Choose any you want, abortion, marriage, healthcare, wages, etc...) that should be controled by government. Very appealing concept to intellectuals who want control what you can, and can't do. Until that is, the very system they've created won't let them do what they wish.
