Socialism is both an economic system and a governing system. Socialism is based on the false belief that government can somehow successfully dictate how an economy MUST be run from the top down instead of letting a free market flourish free from government interference. Ricardo Pita describes why his parents escaped from Venezuela to the United States, and explains why socialism is a cruel failure. What type of government - and economic system - a country adopts makes all the difference in the world for the well-being, or lack thereof, of that nation's citizens. In America we have a lot to be grateful for, including the fact that our nation is not yet completely given over to socialism; although we are increasingly slipping further and further into a system that gives government more control over economic activity than is permitted to individuals.
