BB's definition of socialism is what I believe also. That's sort of the system they have in France and look at the mess they have there. When you take profits from people who work hard you take the incentive away for small businesses to start. That's one reason their unemployment rate is so high.

The U.S. is a capitalist society, and we do have roads, schools, medical care, food, etc. available to everyone. In addition, anyone, no matter who, can pull themselves up by the bootstraps and make a better life for themselves. Many people do it.
