Allow me to hand you a flashlight as we navigate the murky waters of your understanding. No, advocating for a living wage and education isn't the spooky “socialism” you dread; it’s more like Capitalism 2.0 , now with added humanity.
If saying “Hey, maybe don't let people starve” stamps a socialist label on Canada, Germany, and most of Western Europe, then maybe we need a dictionary more than an economics textbook. These places are rockin’ mixed economies, where capitalism shakes hands with social responsibility.
Now let’s talk Walmart. Telling them to pay their full-timers enough to live isn't a communist manifesto; it's “Economics: The Basics”. Get this: if Walmart pays its people properly, guess who doesn't have to? The government! Cue the fireworks, that's less government intervention.
So, let’s chill on the socialism scare tactics. Let’s add a dash of compassion to capitalism, because believe it or not, when people do well, the economy does too. Crazy, right?

I agree, we need more compassion for low-skilled American workers.
