When effective government does its job to see that citizens are treated fairly and their needs armrest provided for by private industry then you have the best of both socialism and capitalism. But when government takes over these needs of the citizens then you have inefficient waste and incompetence as evidenced by the Berlin Wall the the fall of Russia.

The USA isn't one of the 10 happiest countries BTW, I suspect because so many people here are one illness away from losing everything..... we are the only civilized country that doesn't have healthcare for all.
