Oh, god I hope not. It would cease to be America. We are a constitutional republic. Everything about socialism and a social democracy disagree with the founding principles of the US.
How did I miss this gem? Sorry to burst your bubble, but as I recall, the United States was declared independent on the basis of all men being created
equal. If that doesn't smack of socialism, I don't know what does.
But to cut out the trolling here and actually address your points, what Snowstalker said is basically correct. Who cares if it interferes with the founding principles of the United States? Again, I dispute that characterization, but there is absolutely no doubt that the idea of responsive and progressive democratic government does interfere with the constitutional foundation of the United States, but that's because the Constitution was enacted following a coup of wealthy landowners who bribed and used intimidation to get the Constitution ratified. It is a reactionary, worthless, and ancient document that by its very nature makes the United States into a conservative country because enacting reforms is almost impossible because of the nature of divided, undemocratic rule.
