There was another thread on here recently, when one of our American friends jokingly talked about Canada being socialist, re. our medical system paid for by taxes. When does it take away from the capitalist, free market system when the govt. bails out companies in trouble. It almost becomes the govt. running the business? On the other hand, as mentioned in other responses here, it is a huge part of the American economy. In the real world today, the government should be there for the good of the people, and compromises in the system may be necessary.
