Whether the United States should become socialist has been widely debated. Some argue that it should because the American public already supports many socialist policies that work fine within free-market structures and which undo the harm done by unfettered capitalism. Others argue that the United States already has too many costly and unpopular socialist entitlement programs and that the government should be promoting equal opportunity and not promising socialism's equal results.
