Socialism isn't about sharing wealth its a construct of laziness. You don't like the position your in then find a way to better yourself. I paid student loans like everyone else. I worked my way up from a gas station to this to that. I never complained because I was raised to work hard and learn to adapt my abilities into a viable income for myself. I certainly don't like the policies that encompass the masses but that is something that would be even worse off in a Socialist society. Would you rather have a say in something or a say in nothing?
How many people can honestly own a business? The idea of capitalism requires a class pyramid. Sure, everyone potentially has the chance to "make it", but for the system to work, you have to have a greater number of burger flippers and grease monkey mechanics than people who can afford golf clubs. Even if the entire nation was full of college graduates, you'd still have to have particle physicists working full-time at McDonalds' for their entire lives. I'm no socialist, but unchecked social Darwinism is still nonsense.
