That show was excellent!! Thanks for sharing!
We already have some wildly popular socialist programs in America, and have had for years. You know them; Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, taxpayer funded Sporting venues for big money franchises ( NFL NBA, MBA, etc. ), 100% tax payer funded retirement, healthcare, housing, travel for elected officials, extensive tax credits and exemptions for big money industries ( oil & gas, Pharma, etc. ), "no questions asked" Defense budgets ( public budget and secretive "contingency fund" which is equal to public budget )..........and the list goes on.
Hannity is dead wrong, we're ALREADY a Socialist country.......................we just choose to re-label the things we like.

Every thing in moderation, limited, earned and paid for.
Venezuela is a good model to beware of.
You snuff Capitalism and productivity, and you snuff an economy.

And, as you point out, perhaps one of the most underrated but obviously socialistic institutions in US is professional 'sport' (via Mitt Romney) where anything but free and open markets exist:

Venezuela is a prime example of Government corruption................which is the REAL lesson America needs to learn. Venezuela's woes are not due to socialist ideology, it is due to her people's inattention and apathy, which allowed a succession of corrupt officials to plunder her treasures until there was nothing left.
Be afraid, be VERY afraid of Government largesse ( freebies )................they're trying to keep you distracted while they raid the treasury, t***sferring the wealth into their own coffers.

Most Politicians become politicians to serve themselves.
Democrats find it easier to do that. They funnel $$$$ to their comrades.
