People say we are a capitalist country, but we're actually not. We are a mix of capitalism (basic economic system) and socialism (social safety nets including SSI, SS, Medicare, Medicaid, W.C., Labor laws, consumer protection agencies & laws, taxpayer funded: free public schools, roads, fire departments, police departments, and so on.

We have less "socialism" than most Eudopean countries that have universal health care, universal college education, universal guaranteed income, and more.

Any country without any socialism included in their government would be truly terrible places to live where dog eats dog and might makes right.
