Do its proponents not see the litany of failed examples throughout history?
 
Desire to help the poor.  Desire to receive help.
 
Some countries spend little on their military (thanks to our protection). So, they're able to offer free college and  health care. It worked to a degree until the migration crisis. We can't afford (without going in debt) the same programs here with the amount that goes to support the military.
 
The draw of socialism is the free stuff. People want something for nothing, that someone else has to work to pay for.
We too can have all the free stuff if we raise our taxation rates like the European countries.

Country    Income Tax Rate
Denmark         48%
Sweden         45%
France         44%
Belgium         44%
Finland         43%
Italy         43%
Norway         43%
Austria         42%
Netherlands 39%
Germany  37%
Luxembourg 37%

Remember almost 45% of American Citizens pay 0 federal income tax and many pay a negative tax rate in the form of and Earned Income Tax Credit. They get back more taxes than they paid in.

According to the CBO at least the bottom 60 percent of households now receive more in federal transfer income than they pay in total taxes. The CBO also estimates this number will continue to grow.

Read Ruth and tell me if socialism is Biblical.
