How can liberals justly claim that Socialism [welfare programs, regulations...] is better than Capitalism?

What's amazing about that is you proved the liberal correct on all counts. By the way, if taxes are socialist your Constitution is socialist! {The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States To borrow money on the credit of the United States To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes} Article I, Sec.

You missed Wall street bailouts and corporate welfare, Billions are spent on military, a lot more than on health care. When 40% of your taxes go to support military industries question what is socialism. You have no idea what 'theory' means in science.

Gravity is a 'theory.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
