UK "socialism" isn't FREE.
The NHS, the welfare state, pensions, education are all based on payments by individuals and companies through personal and company taxation, national insurance and local (council) taxes.
The costs of the Police and Fire services are collected as part of Council taxes.
The NHS costs less per head to cover everybody than the health services of the US that DON'T cover everybody.
I paid income tax on my pension contributions. I paid tax on the interest on my pension pot. I pay income tax on the pension I receive, and when I spend that money I pay VAT (sales tax) on many things I buy - so that is four taxes on my current income.
Free? It ain't free.
and it puts an unfair burden on the working class and stipends economic growth
