I disagree, we are and have been a socialistic country almost from the beginning.
Socialism is an economic model where the government owns, operates, or controls the means of production:
Here are a few of the ways the government controls companies in the US:
Consumer protection Via Advertising Restrictions
Employment and Labor Protection
Environmental Impact of Business
Date Security and Privacy Protection
Safety and Health
Labor and Safety Regulations
Environmental and Health Laws
Marketing and Privacy Guidelines
Disclosure Laws
The Workplace Health & Safety Act
Truth in Advertising
Online Advertising Disclosures
The CAN-SPAM Act
The Minimum Wage
Work Authorization
Consider, hiring "illegals" is in fact a free market capitalism RIGHT. The companies not being allowed to hire illegals is the government becoming involved in running the company.
