The Government of the United States is a Representative Democracy that has promoted Capitalism for generations. While promoting this endeavor has made millions of people better off then they would be otherwise, it has left some of the lazier humans, or less fortunate behind.
In the 40's, F.D.R. started our first tiny bit of socialist tendencies. We call this scam out Social Security System. It is the first known ponzi scheme in America.
We are now engaged in a new era of free money. Both parties are looking to buy future votes at the price of our children. Technically, this is a form of communism as all money is given out by the Government and controlled by the Government, but this system is more evil and insidious. We are handing out money that is not really there. We are taking money from our children and grandchildren to keep the money flow and lifestyles of the people alive today. This is not a true socialist system either. The answer to your question is that we were a capitalist society and quickly trying to become a non existant soceity. Socialism requires that we live within our means. The system we have now does not bother with that detail. We are a society based on prue greed.
