Agreed until I saw "Democratic" Socialism
What the hell does that even mean?
Also, you act like a pinch of socialism will destroy an economy, and are most likely automatically connecting socialism to fascism.
Look at France; one of the Highest GDP's Literacy Rates, and Life Expectancy rates in the world. It's a full on socialist economy.
So how is a pinch going to completely shamble our government?
Stop with the "survival of the fittest" ideology. Some people aren't born into enviorments where they can compete with those who are. This is why we have welfare and obamacare, which many conservatives are trying to tear down rather than reform, and kick those at the bottom into an endless cycle of poverty and debt, which leads to higher crime rates, lower literacy rates, and overall lower standard of living.
Capitalism is great, but it is one of the most fundamentally flawed economic systems. Don't make it out to be the solution to every problem.

Yes, but full on socialism that bernie suggests doesn't either. It will make life dismal with nothing to strive for to be better. Which is what america is built on. I am not saying that poverty can just be magically fixed by capitalism, they will be definitely in need of financial support to get back on their feet. But punishing those who work hard and rewarding the lazy and financially dependent scum is wrong.

"But punishing those who work hard and rewarding the lazy and financially dependent scum is wrong." Because everyone who is wealthy worked for it... You mean born into it.

But their family worked hard for them to build their legacy and to work hard to support their family as best as they can. Isn't that what we all do? So why take away what they have for someone else's gain? Why can't it be for their family rather than a complete strangers?
