ahem,
If you look at the trends of the federal government: welfare, heathcare, education assistance, environmental regulation, ETC. then you are driving toward a socialistic governmental structure.
Capitolism in its pure form would not enclude ANY of these. If we were driving toward a more capitolistic form, we would just be repealing laws right now.
The top 6% of people pay 56% of the tax base. Therefore, if you wished to be ABLE to take care of the people in a more socialistic fashion, you would need to encourage economic growth on top end to pay for the bottom 40% which pay 3% of our tax base. Socialism only takes care fo the people providing you have money to do so.
