Do you believe a socialist government is good? And if you do, how many times in your life have you voluntarily paid more taxes to the federal government than they said you needed to?

I don't believe a socialist government is good. I also don't believe a pure hands-off laissez faire government is good. I don't believe either candidate does either and both fall somewhere in the middle.
A mix has been the most successful, similar to what we have now. My complaint is with those who call Obama a socialist while not looking themselves in the mirror. We are all socialists and rely on it to survive. We all enjoy being able to dial 911 and have a cop show up at our door. We enjoy having trained firefighters put out a blaze that may erupt. We enjoy having a military to protect our borders.
Both sides have socialist leanings. It's just a matter what they choose to socialize through the government.
