SOCIALISM: 
1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.

So, is the United States of America a society, or growing toward the trend of socialism? You decide, while you still can; just don't get strong-armed by the government or any special interest groups whose only vested interest in you is that you totally, completely and unquestionably agree with everything they tell you. Period.
You be the judge.
