Look up what socialism is....We have nothing wrong with proper use of tax dollars. Improving the infrastructure is not socialism. It never has been, never will be.
If tax dollars are spent on something it is a social program, ie Socialism...
Just because you like it doesn't mean it is not. This is a basic concept...
That is why anyone saying all socialism is bad should be ignored as much any one saying all capitalism is bad...
Europe has just more social programs than the US overall but there area US has under government control which European countries have privatised as well... It is about balance rather than absolutes...
