Can anyone name a country where socialism actually makes folks happy? Sweden doesn't count.

In my honest, and hopefully non offensive opinion socialism at it's very core make up is saying everyone is the same. And you should all be happy about it. Now all men are created equal, but ABSOLUTELY not gifted equally. So for example that is saying that it doesn't matter if you invented a laser that can scratch your ass from outer space you shouldn't be allowed make more then the simpleton flipping burgers at the Kyrstal's across the street. And if you do, you should share it.

I'm all about sharing, caring, and hugs not drugs and whatever, but for me to be forced into sharing what I have busted my ass to achieve even when all odds were against me and everyone laughed, is plain and simple robbery. And a government, should not rob it's people. Capitalism, gets such a bad rap, when in essence it's what 98% of people immigrate here for. The dollar and the chance for a better life. And the people who were born here(Usa) forget that, what we take for granted others do not.

So ask me again if I want the brilliant and talented doctor doing my tripple bypass (that I am now in need of because I ate myself to death with double quater pounders) to be paid the same as the slacker barely passed med school by the skin of his teeth. No I don't. Because if you are good at something never do it for free and it's that's doctors right to charge what he sees fit for his services. That is a buyer/seller relationship on it's base level. And I most certainly want to get what I pay for, not what the government see's fit to pay my brilliant and talented surgeon.
