    Too much socialism is bad because it will certainly involve increasing taxes to pay for social programs. High taxes discourage people from working hard. Why would you work hard knowing much of your earnings would be taken away? Free education beyond high school would mean higher taxes not only to pay for the school but to spot scams. Scam trade schools would pop up which don’t teach well and pass students who don’t perform well.

      Socialism is not “social programs,” it’s an economic mode of organization where public property is the principle aspect. Further, higher social programs invests in a more productive working class. Finally, Capitalists don’t create any value, they exploit their wealth, it should be returned to the working class.
