People who use socialism as an insult, don't generally even know what socialism is. What's ironic is we are in fact a socialist state. All these people saying "get your government hands of my medicare," the people who don't want to pay taxes but still want public education for their kids, a police department to keep them safe, a fire department to keep their house from burning down. All of these are social welfare programs.
Instead what we have is not capitalism. It's capitalism for the poor, subsidized social welfare for the rich, ie bailouts, humongous tax "incentives", billions in oil subsidies for companies that already make tens of billions.
