Advantage of Socialism

I suppose if you are unmotivated to work or produce for your family and community, the advantage of socialism would be you wouldn't have to expend any, or very little, energy to receive income. Another advantage would be everyone gets to live in the same miserable conditions - equal opportunity. Kidding aside, there aren't any tangible advantages of socialism. It's a flawed system that eventually collapses on to itself because there isn't enough tax revenue to pay for the large number of social programs that socialism generates. The money to pay for the programs comes from tax revenue, collected from the citizens who produce for the ecomony. After awhile, fewer and fewer people choose to work to produce because of the excessive tax burden placed on them by the citizens who choose not to produce - the benefit of earning income disappears. Wikipedia offers some information on the definition of socialism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism.
