@OTWO:
I know you said you didn’t want to discuss each topic, but you did mention generally:
I believe in socialist policies on schools and healthcare and an equalizing in both areas.
And this:
Mainly, I am a liberal because I believe that laws and budgets should put people first.
And this:
Socialism has not worked in the world because true socialism has not existed. In current socialisms, some people are more "equal" than others.
Socialism will never work, no matter how it is tried. Prices, profits, losses, entrepreneurship, and interest rates all perform very important functions. The extent to which those mechanisms are undermined is the extent to which you end up with the effects you decry.
I think your post is a good one - but consider that I do believe you when you say you want people put first. I believe that you want to help people. But also consider that if someone in the right disagrees with you, they don’t mean to imply they are against people raising their standard of living.
To put it more concisely: I believe the economic effects of policies you favor will, in fact, undermine the same effects you wish those policies to accomplish.
Socialism can’t calculate. And half socialist programs can calculate better, but not great:
