Well they're not really benefitting from socialism, they're benefitting from corruption, quite literally.
And lets be realistic, this country was founded upon capitalistic greed and white supremacy. Unless you have a full scale bloody revolution which will remove the corrupt and the system that supports and upholds them, nothing is going to change. That means changing America as we know it and the way thats its always been. However we can incorporate some socialist principles to limit the power of these corrupt people. Most of the wealth of the nation is in the hands of a few people while most of the people in America are work-class people. If you do they math, no one should be poor in this country, but on the same token, a comparatively handful of people should *NOT* be holding the majority of the wealth in this country. They have what they need and then some, yet still want more. Its greed and there's only one group of people on this ploanet with that type of a greed complex[J---], but thats a whole different thread.
