All countries use money, doesn't that make them all capitalist? Your argument that tax = socialism makes about as much sense as my previous statement.
There are some services that have to be provided by the state, and therefore need to be funded by revenue gained through taxation. This is no more socialist in that it uses taxation as it capitalist because it involves money. You clearly don't know what you're talking about and are harping on about how socialist the government is because they won't let you sell guns to toddlers or whatever it is teabaggers are so pissed about.
Again you missed the point by a country mile regarding what socialism is. It is about OWNERSHIP.
Yes there are degrees, but those degree range from the state owning and running all industries, to maybe only running one or two where it makes no sense for anyone else to do so; such as transport or health.
Taxing citizens and businesses, making and enforcing laws, and having in place a system of welfare in order to protect those most vulnerable in a society, is no more socialist than it is capitalist. These are simply things that states do.
This is why America will never have a socialist party, because people clearly have no idea what it means.
I also don't think you'll ever have a Progressive Left party with any real power, because the ignorant masses ruin it for the few of you with more than 2 brain cells to rub together.
