Scandinavian countries, Ireland, Belgium, Canada, Australia, and (until recently) Japan; Canada and Norway have alternately held the top spot for some time. On the Human Poverty Index the United States ranked 16th, one rank below the United Kingdom and one rank above Ireland.[4] On the Economist's quality-of-life index the United States ranked 13, inbetween Finland and Canada, scoring 7.6 out of a possible 10.

On paper, it just may seem appropriate but socialism equates to minimal freedom of the citizen... the American capitalism is the reason why today they are the richest, the sole super power and the biggest exporter of capital goods in the world.

That's the biggest proof of capitalism's success as I see it. Democracy at it's best, try poking fun of your politicians in other countries... see what's waiting.

That's the biggest proof of capitalism's success

Feslin it is not. So what if we have a few regulations? It's no where NEAR socialism.
