But what I'm curious about is, how does that play into the vision of a socialist? That $4000 is more than most will ever have. What is the acceptable limit of somebody saving money and being able to say that they shouldn't have to spread the wealth with others?

Saving money & personal wealth are fine with Democratic socialists.
I'm not a socialist. I'm a blue dog Democrat.
I'm going to point out what is socialist in our current society in America.
GoFundMe - socialist
Pooling money to build a wall - socialist
Public schools - socialist
Military - socialist
Medicaid - socialist
Social security - socialist
Socialists believe the government should provide basic needs & services like healthcare, education, etc. to citizens.
Democratic socialists don't believe in authoritative governments controlling your every move they believe in voting & the power of the people. They also believe in taking the dark money & corporate bribes/lobbying out of government.
