The USA is not pure capitalism.
Social Security - Socialism
Food Stamps - Socialism
Unemployment - Socialism
Pell Grants - Socialism
Aid for Dependent Children - Socialism
Medicare and Medicaid - Socialism
Tax Abatement - Socialism

How capitalist are we realy? Even our corporations get welfare!

I understand there are things common to all that needs to be socialized. But just because it's opened or voluntary to all doesn't necessarily means Socialism! The big difference is when you cannot option out on such programs, that's when it becomes Socialism. Social Security, Unemployment, Education Grants, etc are not really mandatory that 100% of the citizens have to join. They have the option not to although it's not 100% optional either. Remember, it's when you are forced and have no options that it becomes Socialism, just like Obamacare!
