It feels like everything you just said has nothing to do with socialism. But if you use VA health care, that’s socialist. Again, republicans prefer corporate socialism in the form of corporate subsidies. I’m not a democrat, but Trump forced me to vote democrat for the first time in my life.
capitalism: assets owned by private firms socialism: assets owned by gov't
income determined by market force redistribution of income
market incentives encourage firms to cut cost gov't owned, no incentives
limits on taxes/gov't spending higher progressive taxes
Just a few bullet points for you which are easily found doing a quick search. When voting I have considered other parties candidates, it comes down to who I believe is the lesser of the two evils!
NO Democrat running this year I felt had a better plan for my country than Trump.
People tend to forget he reduced payroll taxes in his first 30 days which gave me extra cash each payday as well as the economy and 401k investments were booming before Covid.
We can discus back n forth all day with out agreement I get that. This socialism mess worries me deeply along with other issues these candidates stand for (more so than Trump ever did)
I feel the American dream is about to die, just my small in opinion in a big world
