Right, why socialism is lovely.
When my mum was little, she lived on a council estate in inner manchester. Her dad had died in a refinery accident when she was little, and her mum was practically unqualified - she came from a time when it was difficult for women to get any sort of decent job. As a result, they lived in what would be defined as poverty, And as such without outside help from the Government, there was no way in hell she would be able to afford University. As it was our communist government loaned my mum all the money she needed to attend a decent university, and get a 1st in Business. As a result she now turns out about £90k p/a in a very well placed (irony inbound) Government position. NONE of this would have been doable without Government support, and as such the tax payers support.

Now for my fathers side. He was born and grew up in Northern Ireland. As you may have heard, NI was not a nice place to grow up back then. He came from a family of 7, and they all lived in a farmhouse with 3 rooms. His dad died when my dad was about 16, leaving him, his 5 brothers and their sister to attend the farm. This left little time for study, and as a result my dad failed every compulsory qualification. Now you could argue 'Well he should have tried harder'. HOW THE FUCK could he, when he was putting in 16-18hr shifts on the farm, to help bring in food for the family. Thankfully, the government payed him for reeducation courses, and eventually he went on to get a 2.1 in Business at a university in England. As a result, he now brings in 60k p/a in a high role in a well known British food group in a area managing position.
Now, my parents tried their utmost to bring themselves up from poverty, but WITHOUT GOVERNMENT assistance, paid for by those well off, IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE.
So you dare and try and tell me socialism is flawed and wrong, and giving to the poor is unworthy.
I dare you.
