Actually since no one really owns anything in America he is a socialist.

The government just wants people to believe that they own their property.

But when someone can make you pay rent on your property (property taxes), can tell you what you can and can't do with your property (environmental regulations) and can take it away from you any time it wants to build a walmart (eminent domain/Kelo decision) ... then you don't really own the property, the government does. But the government just wants you to believe that you own it so you won't overthrow the government.
