I also believe the US wins as a mixed economy - part socialism mostly free markets. Wise enforced rules and regs on a level playing field to promote the invisible hand of competition (not these monopolies and oligopolies) while protecting the environment and public health.

I believe the already generous progressive estate tax is a wise tax, to keep meritocracy alive for the next generations. Public education, for example, is expensive but brings a colossal ROI. Paying for veterans is not cheap, especially with the perpetual war advocated by the hawks.
