Given the answers after, I think this show that the American adults
don't know that "capitalism" and "free-market" are practically
synonymous. Interesting the difference between Republicans and Democrats.
Note also the changing from younger adults to mature ones.
Maybe, older you get less you believe in pipe dreams.

Well, whatever they like or not, with Obama and Pelosi they will know 
what is socialism and how much it work. Not that in the recent years the 
US would be an example of capitalism or free market.
