Economics #2

Socialism does not and cannot function properly in this society. First off, it would encourage everyone to be a lot more lazy. For instance, if someone knows they will get money equally with those who work hard, they will not work hard. It encourages people to work as little as possible in order to get as much as those with a full time- hard labor job. The government would not be able to function because they wouldn't be able to find enough people that were actually willing to work hard and do their jobs. If there is no motivation there is no result. I agree that the government could change a bit and help find more jobs for those that are unemployed or do more to find opportunities for struggling individuals to gain a healthy amount of pay, but distributing the wealth evenly is both unfair and disastrous. Sharing is a good deed, and so is giving of yourself, but when it comes to giving everyone free money all the time, without any chance of them attempting to work for it is just wrong. Ambition will decrease heavily, and so will productivity. Overall, the government could not withstand all the consequences that would come with this kind of distribution.
