Look. There are a host of problems with socialism. One of them is the simple fact that you've now made the government at fault if there's not enough "whatever" to go around. You've also made the government the legal process, not only by which benefits are provided but also through which complaints must travel. This works great as long as the people as a whole trust the system and believe that it is fair. But when people decide that it's not fair (right or wrong), the result is civil unrest aimed at the government itself. Because they see the government as the instrument of oppression against them. It's not exactly the ideal that some would like to paint it as.
but.. there kinda really is enough to go around.
Heh. Then why are these folks in France living in slums? You don't think they'd be rioting if they were living in upscale homes with overviews of the vinyards do you?
