Whilst on the surface free enterprise seems like a fine thing, when you take into consideration monopolies and corruption it too can be a bad thing, not too mention turning people into money hungry A holes. Also not every socialist "experiment' has failed...........yet but does need to be modified away from the doctrine set out by Marx and Engels, think China. The problem I see with true socialism is that it goes against human nature, whilst capitalism works well with human nature. I do see the US as an odd mixture of pure capitalism mixed in with a bit of national socialism/patriotism/racism and a few other ism's that haven't even been thought up yet.
