Read the communist manifesto and see how much has been implemented.

But what makes you think our rulers are fundamentally better people than
the rulers in other nations?

You seem to be worried about other nations. I'm not.

Sounds like you don't understand what communism is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Communist_Manifesto
10 point program of Communism

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land
to public purposes.

-> Property taxes and the New London decision achieve this.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

-> Have had that since 1913.

3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.

-> various heavy taxes achieve this.

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

-> civil asset forfititure and other laws and executive orders.

5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a
national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.

-> Federal Reserve Act, 1913.

6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the
hands of the State.

-> FCC, access to government for reporting, CIA funding, etc.
US DOT, FAA, etc and so on.

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by
the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the
improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

-> Numerous regulations achieve this. BP oil disaster in the Gulf is but
the latest famous example on numerous levels.

8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial
armies, especially for agriculture.

-> Countless labor regulations and acts including the minimum wage.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual
abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more
equitable distribution of the population over the country.

-> Various regulations and subsidies to agriculture which have favored
giant agri-business.

10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of
children's factory labour in its present form. Combination of education
with industrial production.

->Compulsory school attendence has been around for a very long time now.

The USA is rather uncomfortably like a communist country.

You seem fixated on 'can't happen here'. Our rulers are not
fundamentally better people, so yes, it can.

Won't help. Too many illegals have state issued IDs and drivers' licenses.
These items are also available to lawful permanent residents who can't
vote.

Yes

Again, won't help. However, checking with SSA to validate the SSN does
help. That's already existing law.
