Socialism really boils down to allocation of resources.

well, since the top 10% in america own appx 3/4 of the wealth - i'd say we're already in that state, aren't we? do you think you or i pay the same for our schools or roads as those folks? why shouldn't we?
it's already unevenly distributed - now if it were just properly distributed to things that matter most. of course nobody can agree on what matters most - especially when it involves those who don't matter aka poor people.
