This is how Socialism is sold. A little clue, not only does this not work, but it will also bankrupt your country in due time. On top of that, those at the top use Socialism as a form of control for the rest of you, regardless how you all hide from this simple fact.
Capitalism is about choice. Always has been, always will be. I don't like people running around and telling me what I can or can't do. To live as an adult, this is my #1 job to figure out what it is that I should do and then do it. This has made my life better than that of those that sit around hoping the government will take care of them and that the government is the end all to all their problems. Sorry! Go take another crack hit because that is not how it works.
Socialism is the type of big government that made people leave their countries and come to the USA in the first place. They wanted a better life. They wanted control of there life. They were allowed to control their destiny as they see fit. And ya know? If a company like Microsoft has a monopoly hold on the market, and you think capitalism created this monster, in the end you still don't have to buy it! In a Socialist country however, the state might make you pay a tax so that everyone has to have a copy for the good of the country!
I could go on all day about why, but in the end, it all comes down to this:
Grow up, get out of your diapers, and be an adult.

I wonder, what country's do you call socialist?
We have socialist party's, but that doesn't mean we are socialist country's.
We have a sort of republican party's as do we have religious and liberal party's. Most time left, right and 'in between' have to work together.
And we do just fine for socialist country's:
