My gross income is a little less than $35,000 and I'm registered independent. Get government agencies that didn't exist 40 years ago out of the way since they're holding back development of new businesses.

You would have to define "capitalism as it is today", because the system has deep flaws and needs improvements.

also you'd have to define "European style socialism". Europe has free market economy, which is capitalism, while health care and education are subsidiced. So, both US and Europe are capitalist.

"As is" means no major changes...U like America as it is today...

Since Europe has mainly socialised medicine,socialised education
& 40% higher total taxation ( all kinds of taxes ) ,I fairly characterise them as socialist countries...
