Because they like to think that they aren't. They like to believe that they are libertarian, but they aren't. They want to make us believe that they are the champions of the common man, the little guy, but they aren't. Modern, left-wing "liberals" are still searching for the socialist utopia. Just remember folks, you can polish a turd all day long, but in the end it's still a turd.

Because of the cold war americans have a mental block against certain terms... even communisim after all was not as bad as the US neo-colonialism and the capitalist plunder... or lets even agree almost equally bad!
Socialism is not a bad word where i live. In fact the better word used is progressive.

specific, tax money is already being redistributed to instructors, fireplace combatants, regulation enforcement officers, squaddies, state and federal team and the disabled and elderly. For roads, bridges, public structures and public transportation centers. For wellbeing care (medicaid/medicare), learn, pupil loans, nationwide parks, welfare and the conflict on medications and terror. I have no theory why some persons think vote casting for McCain or Obama will with the two cut back or develop the size of government. If Joe the Plumber needs to stress to artwork on a potholed street, carry a gun once you think approximately that desperate men and females who don't have jobs and are hungry might desire to rob him; if Joe needs his little ones to pass to a school with leaky roofs the situation the lecturers are all incompetent as a results of actual fact greater knowledgeable people seek larger paying jobs; if Joe needs to lose his apartment to foreclosure and have rich persons on Wall street money in on his mistake of getting into debt--if Joe needs all of those concerns and greater he can vote for a candidate who needs to scale lower back the size of government. yet it fairly is pleased with Joe once you think approximately that he's likely valuable that he will continuously land on his ft.

Because they are the ones who need the money. Ever noticed the people doing well for themselves are the conservatives? I would want free money if I were poor too. So here I will sit working so they don't have to.

For the same reasons they are reluctant to admit they are a liberal, negative connotations based on past (and failed) Socialist regimes and present day systems that are struggling.

Because the two aren't the same thing. Just because there is overlap between two different philosophies does not make them the same thing. Libertarianism and conservatism overlap but they are definitely not the same thing.

They want the money distributed, just not their money.
