I'm not making the case for universal basic income here. Not a fan of welfare either. Providing education and healthcare (paid for through taxes) for your citizens is a good idea. Imagine that one annoying person at work was even less educated.
Not a fan of any part of communism then try not buying products from China.
The Hoover Dam (your ability to live in the desert) wasn't a privately funded venture. Is that socialism at work?
You don't have kids do you?

Government programs that don't benefit all equally without further qualification do nothing but put additional taxes on those who produce and may or may not benefit from said program. Only those with school age kids benefit from public education. Employers have the choice to hire educated or uneducated employees. Employees have the choice to select employers who hire those qualified. It all boils down to personal responsibility not group funding.
