Socialism is a cancer. With that said it is alive and well in the United States.
Socialism discourages REAL charity and giving. Socialism enslaves the productive citizenry and makes them subject to the recipient class while simultaneously propping up the statist politicians who take every advantage for themselves while expempting themselves from the very programs they endorse. Why do you think the politicians aren't taking part in our precious Affordable Health Care Act along with the commoners and unions and big corporations are seeking exemptions or waivers and for the most art getting them? Because they all know it will suck and they are much too important to have to wait for rationed care. Socialism doesn't so much take care of those that are in need as much as it breeds dependancy and creates division amonst the populous.
Socialism is for the people not the socialist. All hail the recipient!
So, Socialism may be alive and well but I personally would love to see it die a quick death so we could get on with real progress.

I feel like you don't fully get what Socialism is. So, for your sake, I fetched you a definition.
socialism, social and economic doctrine that calls for public rather than private ownership or control of property and natural resources. According to the socialist view, individuals do not live or work in isolation but live in cooperation with one another. Furthermore, everything that people produce is in some sense a social product, and everyone who contributes to the production of a good is entitled to a share in it. Society as a whole, therefore, should own or at least control property for the benefit of all its members.

I know exactly what socialism is. Welfare, socialized medicine, etc. etc. are all Socialism in its basic form. Confiscating capital through taxation to redistribute it to others for the sake of paying for their basic needs is the VERY definition of Socialism. Thank you for contributing though. :)
