I said "US to become a socialist country". I should have said *socialistic* to avoid confusion. And that means providing more social benefits and welfare in one form or another at the expense of higher taxes and the businesses.

Trump's proposal to put 45% taxes on Chinese imports is a socialist move. It raises taxes on corporations (and indirectly on people who can afford to buy the goods) in order to protect jobs at home. Yes, it is not dressed as Marx and Lenin, but in the end, it is tax the corporations to save the workers.

Before someone picks on that - I don't care about Trump's position. And my whole argument is that in a decade, it will not matter because politicians on both sides will curb businesses and try to save the workers. Some will take a direct approach (Sanders) and others an indirect approach (Trump). But neither side will sing the praises of free markets and business deregulation.
