Socialism Sucks.

The simple rule taught at child, sharing is caring, is the main argument for socialism. It is defined as a compassionate means to alleviate the impoverished and helpless. As a economic system, socialism would produce a utopian society; a society transformed by mutual hard work and determination. The driving force of socialism stems from the association of socialism with compassion, however this is merely a naive view of the tendencies of socialism. Socialism is a compromise between capitalism and communism and exists to slowly destroy American principles of economic freedom. Also, socialism discourages the values and key components of American society- invention, creativity, and hard work. These two components compound and engender a system that 

demeans success and uplifts laziness. 

Firstly, Socialism is the economic system where the government owns the means of production. Institutions such as health care, business, and education are defined by the rigid and faulty hand of the government. The American government was established in order to check the power of a growing central government and guarantee the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. Socialism, although preaching fairness and equal wealth, denounces the tenets of American liberty that founded are democratic system. Socialism marches toward communism and as such, celebrates the government's perfection and capability to dictate the lives of its citizens. Government functions as a system of protection and fairness. Therefore, it cannot steal from its citizens or sacrifice their rights in order to establish equal wages. Equality is not measured by the amount of money you make, nor the type of car or house. Instead of prompting citizens to enjoy government interference, American government should be encouraging independence and frugality. Socialism promotes a great sense of entitlement that corrodes the blessing of the rights we are appointed. The cruelty of communism stems from the mindset of socialism, that is, that government serves as a kind of salvation upon earth and must act in order to grant its citizens happiness and financial security. This task was not given to the American government and although it functions in the best interest of the people, it does not insure wealth and unmarred unhappiness. Socialism is producing a mindset within American of the government's correctness and ultimate power to declare truth. The similar mindset of socialism and capitalism produces a misunderstanding regarding the purpose of American government and the role of its citizens. 

Secondly, the facets of socialism promote laziness and even more so, idea of entitlement which furnishes a selfish mindset of greed and misunderstood equality. For instance, skills earned should not result in equal payment: a doctor should not be payed the same as a McDonald's employee. Occupations do have greater value in society than some, although a harsh fact, it is a poignant reality. Socialism decries the initiative and determination of American citizens as it continually raises taxes and cuts wages in order to produce equality. Welfare is beneficial for those incapable of working, but it produces a mentality of laziness and entitlement. It discourages workers to return to employment and continually cuts into the labors of workers in order to pay for their needs. Socialism would result in an apathetic society which is incapable of innovation or creativity. American society would simply produce a culture of selfishness and the desperate need for material equality. This idea stems from the corrupt thinking of socialism and therefore socialism promotes unhealthy thinking and action.
