One aspect I feel that causes some of the hatred of socialistic tenancies in governments (e.g. health care, supporting unemployed people so they have a better chance of getting a job, supporting students so they can actually study, etc.) is pure blind greed. A substantial portion (I don't count them, so I'm not going to give a concrete number) of people saying they hate socialism give a reason of "my money, get away, it's mine, you can't have it." Yes this is rather harsh, but I can't think of another way to put it at the moment.
Now I don't want my money taken away from me either, but I am willing to pay extra taxes for things like health care, education, defence, roads, and all those other things that I don't want controlled by corporations. Partly this is from selfishness - if health care is free, I will be more likely to go in for health check-ups (as an example) early and thus be healthy, and not have huge bills when problems get serious. Partly this is from a desire for a country to be strong - homeless people just suck at the economy, but if you give them unemployment benefits some will be able to get back on their feet.
