Taxes aren't unique to socialism. Never has been.
And you guys can tell me this incorrect, because the USA isn't "technically" Socialist, it's considered Capitalist. Well sorry, but that is just bickering about the details and the "proper" implementation, of which there is no such thing.
While you guys are fighting about the correct way to redistribute those tax dollars to best suit your ideal version of Socialism, the rest of us are saying, "Hey guys, we don't care how you divide them because the principle of forced wealth redistribution will never work". That's what the circus of politics is all about. Politicians fooling their sheep into believing their scheme is the correct one. If you believe there is a proper scheme you will always be a sheep and in the end you will be sheared, possibly slaughtered.
I put this video here for you again:
