Socialism is better than Capitilism

Definition: Socialism is a social and economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy, as well as a political theory and movement that aims at the establishment of such a system. Arguement 1: Labor Socialism grants many employees, workers, etc. many benefits and social programs. In Western Europe, many workers are granted these benefits upon citizenship or payment. Take Sweden, who has some of the most beneficial social programs in the world. But many will point out it has some of the highest taxes. Effectively, this is the governments way of evening things out. The more benefits you get, the higher taxes you pay. Socialism is laid out so it can protect its working citizens and help its non-working citizens get jobs. The government also lays out several laws and social programs to protect workers should their superiors in their particular companies attempt to take advantage of them. In Capitilism, it's all about profit. Many corporation owners don't care about their employees, simply about turning a profit. Arguement 2: Economic Impact Definition of Capitalism: an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. Capitilism is mostly a bunch of big corporations trying to out do each other. America is a capitalistic nation, who has the biggest economy in the world. However, America is being caught up fast by socialistic nations. China, who is a socilistic/communistic mix, has the second largest and fastest growing economy in the world. Other powerful Socialistic nations include Germany, France, UK, Italy, Canada, Australia, Russia, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, and Norway (I'm not including China because they are Communist, not Socialist) per http://knoema.com... . Unlike common misconception, Socialism is not were the government owns everything and you can't go to the bathroom without the government telling you you can. Socialism is where the government plays an active part in their citizens lives and the economy. There are still corporations, but most of the service jobs are government owned. A Socialistic government protects its citizens and treats them as equals. In Capitilism, most Corporations don't care for their workers. Know some people may complain about welfare and all the people in Socialism are lazy. Then how can Socialistic countries maintain such a high quality economy? Most Socialistic countries have their workers do service jobs. However, because of the high taxes, most Socialistic citizens live in apartments. Which brings me to my next arguement. Arguement 3: People This arguement is fairly simple. Most Western Europeon nations, who are Socialistic, have some of the happiest people and highest standards of living in the world. Why is this? Because of the active part the government plays in your life. They pay for your insurance and social security, and in return, you pay higher taxes. Why else do other nations look at America like a joke? Because of their socialistic lifestyle, not do they ownly laugh at Americans, but completely resent our lifestyle. Arguement 4: Government In Socialism, the government is more powerful than in Capitilism. In Socialism, the government makes the distribution of wealth its responsibility. They do their best to distribute wealth equally among the population. In Capitilism, the wealth is concentrated within a wealthy elite, most commonly big corporation owners. If I did not make myself clear earlier, I'm using the more mild version of Socialism, not the extreme one.
