The USA is a capitalist county. "Communism" and "Socialism" are not synonyms for "the government is doing things I disagree with."

As I stated above what I disagree is a system where legislation is used for other purposes than 1) protecting citizens from harm 2) combating anti-competitive practices by incumbent businesses.

The legislation in question clearly falls outside these two categories.
