That's debatable. Our government had socialistic policies from 1945-1970, and as a result, America saw the greatest period of economic growth, improvements in standard of living, and increased affluence across the board. People moved from crowded tenements into suburban homes for the first time thanks to the policies of the FDR administration.

It wasn't until the Reagan era that things started back downhill for America, mainly because he and his ilk hated all those socialistic policies and did away with them. Now, things are much worse, mainly due to NOT having socialistic policies. Reagan's version of capitalism and trickle down economics has not worked in these past 40+ years. It's been a disaster for America - and not just for the poor and working classes either. All of America has suffered due to capitalism and the policies advocated by capitalists.

America was doing great up until the current administration wrecked it.
