Noelie,
You call feeding the hungry socialism? In many places if you are hungry you can go to a soup kitchen, usually run by people who were inspired by the first messiah. I don’t think everyone will stop working and stop contributing to society because they don’t have to worry about starvation. Everyone who is sound of mind aspires to and dreams for more.
“Spreading it around” is about the government providing a compassionate hand to pick up those who try and then fail.
Our new messiah pledges to create an America of equal opportunity for those who weren’t blessed with or born into it. Yes we all work hard for what we have, but there are always those who did not have blessings.
Once a new humanist order is in place, think of it as giving your 10% at church. (Then you can scale back on that, and worship at the weekly youtube podcast of our new messiah.)
