It could be argued that the US is quickly moving towards a "Communist" model- that being complete governmental control over ever thought and action of individuals.
Ok, mabye facism would be a better discription (because it doesn't incorporate the direct seizing and distribution of personal wealth), but the trend towards a credit, cash-less society where assets(which can be seized at the push of a button) are indirectly sourced from the government through restricted lending and distributing laws.
This senario, I believe, leaves the American public vulnerable to a centralized seizure and abuse of power should it ever occur.
Nowadays, everyone wants to know your business:
-The NSA tracks and records all citizens communications without warrent or just cause-isp, cell phone location,etc...(even though statistically you're more likely to die in a hospital from incompetance, or flattened by an SUV, than from some deranged suicidal foreigner).
-Corporate chains want to track your every spending habit through radio frequency chips, facial recognition software, etc.- all of which could be incorporated into a governmental program at the drop of a hat.
-Etc...etc... the list goes on.
