You misunderstand socialism then. The perfect socialist country would have no taxes at all. Instead of taxing the people, the government would raise money from profits on major industry which would all be nationalized. A good example of this is Venezuela with their oil, or Cuba with their sugar & tabacco. In a country with so much natural resources and wealth, we would not need any taxes at all if we had a system like that. But instead, we allow large multinational corporations to claim ownership of all of our resources, so we are left with nothing. Our country basically owns nothing at all, which is why the US dollar keeps falling.
