Liberalism (even in the American sense) and Socialism are quite different from each other.

If you want to see a liberal (in the U.S. sense) country in action, check out the Scandinavian countries -- which all have Satisfaction with Life indexes higher than the U.S., less income inequality and better education index values (apart from Sweden). Even the States' neighbor to the north, despite having Stephen Harper for so long, achieves better results.
