You folks are also the same people who claim that the US is a "democracy."
So this fear that the US will become socialist......we have always been socialist.
I have to run now....gotta go pay back my government subsidized student loans, drive on public roads, maybe get pulled over by the police, who are paid via our collective tax dollars....

Now, you're the jokester. We have not advocated a pure capitalistic society, and you're oversimplifying the arguments for the sake of absurdity, but its the degree of focus upon the principles. In a society focused upon capitalism, reliance upon government institutions impedes the workforce and the economic growth.
