As long as American right wingers refuse to understand that regulations and controls are not a bane to capitalism, but a CRITICAL COMPONENT of capitalism, socialism will continue to gain adherents.

No one, not the staunchest Conservative believes we should have no regulations. The issue comes in when too many regulations. Do you agree?
Of course, a prime example is California. They have regulated their forests to death. For many decades they have prohibited logging, controlled burns, even roads going into and through those forests. As a result, they have uncontrollable fires, costing many lives and billions of dollars in damage. How is that good for California?
