Perhaps a definition of socialism is needed here, because I do not see that policy employed in early American history.

That is the world socialist website. I believe it contains a philosophy diametrically opposed to a Constitutional Republic, which is what America is.
I do NOT want everything held in common ownership by everybody, which means government ultimately controls it.
I do NOT want politicians of any stripe in control of ANYTHING other than what the Constitution allows. They wreck whatever they touch.
I do NOT want to live in a Democracy - majority rule - which the Founders knew was little more than mob rule, and there always follows persecution of minorities when majorities have the final say. I want to live under the rule of law, as defined by the US Constitution.
I do NOT want to live in a global community controlled by a "Democratic" majority deciding what I need in life.
There has never been a truly "conservative" government in America in the 20th century. Reagan attempted to implement limited government ideas and was overturned by a Democrat controlled congress, which has gotten more and more liberal, progressive, socialistic, fascist, whatever you want to call, every decade of the last 100 years. RINOs have traitorously followed suit.
Nothing has been done in American history according to socialistic principles. That is erroneous. Roads were paid for, money given to free capitalist companies to build them. Many have challenged, on Constitutional principles, whether the federal government has any business entering the "space race." It did so in response to Soviet activities. Private enterprise would have gotten man into space and to the moon much more quickly than government controlled NASA had done.
The incentive to gain, to produce wealth, to better oneself will always be a more productive society than socialism, which has failed in every country it has been attempted in. Where China has succeeded it has done so at the expense of multiplied millions, now hundreds of millions, who have no freedoms or liberty or pursuit of happiness as they see fit.
God forbid America becomes a socialist nation. Progressives have already ruined enough of the American dream. If Obama gets another term he will do all he can to finish the job, and America will turn into Greece, into Spain, into riots, chaos, and military on the streets of every city in America.
No. I want no socialism in my country. I want red, white, and blue, not red and yellow.
