Look, Wall Street is flourishing, corporations are making record profits, and swimming in cash. The upper 20% in wealth and income are the only group whose wealth has increased under Obama, while everyone else lost 8% or more of their wealth.
He, the Kennedy's. Rockefeller, Hilton, Heinz families, and the Hollywood elitists are not going to share their wealth with anyone. It's just a con to get get the lower income and poor to keep supporting them.
I suspect you dont even know what the word socialism means. You're just using it because you think the word sounds scary and has negative emotional connotations. You haven't even presented a real argument, your just throwing the word socialism around again. This question is typical of what to expect from the right.
The right has been intentionally conflating European-style social programs with Socialist Totalitarian Dictators. It is not correct, and frankly it is insulting to those people who have suffered and continue to suffer under socialist dictators.
Because what he proposes is pretty far from socialism, this argument falls apart... that and one could wonder why do you maintain that socialism fails (always) or even if know what socialism is in the first place.

Socialism generally works.
If you have insurance, you are participating in socialism.
If you car pool, you are participating in socialism.
If you shop at a farmers market, you are participating in socialism.
If you belong to a home owners association, you are participating in socialism.
If you are or were in the military, you are participating in socialism.
There is a difference between communism and socialism. You should learn it.
Because he hasn't learned from history, and it always can be made to sound like a good thing for the voters.
LOL, every socialist country, started out as capitalist.
Because at the very first everyone loves it. Then they run out of money because there is no point to work.
He thinks it will work long enough to let him destroy the big bad USA .
guys like obama think we can make it work as long as "we just do it right this time".
WARNING- how is insurance, or anything you named an example of socialism?
