Answer 2

AS the story goes, a professor told his Government class on the first day of school that regardless of what grade they earned, they would all get a "C." Then proceeded to explain socialism. That type government provides no incentive to achieve. It takes 90% or more from the rich (and they get to decide who is rich) and gives to the poor in various programs they deem best to serve the poor, i.e., welfare, health care, etc. On the other hand its a good deal for the poor because they are required to do nothing. They don't worry about achieving because their life situation is complete without achieving. I'm sure you've heard the adage, "Give a man a sandwich and he eats for a day, give him a plow and he eats for life." Socialism gives him a sandwich.

Answer 3

The term socialism is often used is to refer to an economic system characterized by state ownership of the means of production and distribution. In the Soviet Union, state ownership of productive property was combined with central planning. Down to the workplace level, Soviet economic planners decided what goods and services were to be produced, how they were to be produced, in what quantities, and at what prices they were to be sold (see economy of the Soviet Union). Soviet economic planning was promoted as an alternative to allowing prices and production to be determined by the market through supply and demand. Especially during the Great Depression, many socialists considered Soviet-style planning a remedy to what they saw as the inherent flaws of capitalism, such as monopolies, business cycles, unemployment, vast inequalities in the distribution of wealth, and the exploitation of workers.
