It always sounds good. But the fact is summarized by the old saying, "socialism won't work because socialists won't work". Everyone wants to be on the receiving end, but there just aren't enough people around who are willing to sacrifice their welfare for the good of society... nor should there be! The reason socialized anything yields crappy service is that there is no alternative, but there is job security. Oh yes... let me correct what I said above... we do have some among us who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the good of society... our military, police, firefighters and the like. No, there are no academics or editorial writers and TV commentators in that group! Not even any politicians.
