The distribution of wealth dilemma

In the United States, there are the poor parts, and the wealthy parts of the country. This is what defines us as a nation. We have a capitalistic society that rewards you for hard work, but many people believe the way we run our economy just creates a large wealth gap between the rich and the poor. It would be impossible for anyone to deny that we as a country have very wealthy people, and very poor people. So people bring up the social and economic change known as socialism. Socialism is a social and economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy, as well as a political theory and movement that aims at the establishment of such a system. This is a change that would turn our market upside down, and has proven to not succeed in the past.  This system redistributes nations wealth as a whole, not for individuals. So everyone has the same potential for making money. In an ideal world, this is a fair system and it makes sense. But here are some reasons that socialism would be the downfall to our country.

• -Replaces the family with the state as the central unit in society
• -Undermines the family by redistributing its wealth and indoctrinating its children in government schools
• -Allows legalized theft in the name of redistributing wealth
• -Encourages sloth instead of productivity
• Rewards irresponsibility, laziness, and poor accountability
• -Encourages self-indulgence instead of self-reliance
• -Encourages finger pointing and shifting of responsibility to others
• -Replaces the self-discipline of delayed gratification with the need for instant gratification
• -Undermines the values that are the foundation of the traditional work ethic (i.e. thrift, diligence, self-reliance, self-discipline, responsibility, accountability, deferred gratification, and hard work) and replaces them with an entitlement mentality
• -Treats those who contribute to the betterment of society the same as those who do not, even when they are capable of doing so
• -Promotes a get-something-for-nothing mentality that undermines the moral character of the individual and society
• Robs people of initiative, drive, and ambition
• -Undermines the spirit of entrepreneurship, innovation, and competitiveness
• -Promotes totalitarianism, thereby undermining freedom and liberty
