Seems like the vast majority of those opposed to socialism are those who don't even know what it is.

How does socialism reward a strong work ethic? You work harder so the Man can take more of it? That makes no sense to me. People have a lot less incentive to work hard if they do not get to keep what they've worked for. It's human nature. That said, do you think the USA would be as great as it is if it's always stuck to socialistic policies?
I'm surprised you take this position on socialism as well, since nearly all of the people I have heard or read about from Canada do not believe the expediency of health care in particular is that great. In fact not at all. Is that false?
This country was founded on capitalism. It is as strong and as prosperous as it is because of capitalism. To change it is incomprehensible.
