I could list at least one hundred reasons why socalisim wouldn't work, but I'll just list one. The population of the United States is far too large to implement socalisim as it is on paper. You would have to tax the population heavily, and it still wouldn't be enough. (1)

Eventually the regulations on business, and the 15 dollar an hour minimum wage would drive jobs out of the US, and toward automation. Poverty would rise dramatically, and the quality of life in the US would plummet. (2)

Bernie Sanders, the epitome of capitalism, and worth millions, sells his socialistic ideas to those ignorant, unsuspecting souls, who believe they can live off others wealth....look at Venezuela.

Nah we want a system like Denmark, not Venezuela but keep Straw Manning because you don't have a real argument.

Here’s a real argument: Democratic socialism is tyrannical. Free-market capitalism works better. There’s nothing wrong with having to pay for valuable goods and services.
-
If you like free-market capitalism so much, why don't you move to Singapore?
-
Because they live under an authoritarian government. Great economic freedom, but very little personal freedom. It’s better for me to advocate for both here in the States. Otherwise, I would gladly move.
-
Economic freedom but not personal freedom? But I thought property rights were the basis of all rights! I love seeing libertarians reinvent political philosophy from Aristotle onward to defend their brokebrain ideology
-
Property rights are the basis of all rights. But when I say “personal freedom,” I mean laws on public conduct, the right to bear arms, etc., whereas economic freedom simply means the freedom from regulation in business transactions.

"I cited an Economic Freedom Index to argue things that I now claim have nothing to do with economic freedom. But it's you, the leftist guy who actually reads, who is confused and wrong."
-
That is not at all what I did. And I never called you a leftist, either. I don’t care what you are.

#Socialism is NOT cool. It is#Evil.#NAZIs were socialists. That grand experiment ended millions of lives. Anyone who embraces#Socialism is ignorant. It has been tried numerous times and failed miserably.pic.twitter.com/hgqiMEPfl4
