Socialism operates on the pretense that everyone's contributions are equally valuable. They aren't. That guy pushing a broom around the local school or that homeless drug addict on main street... Did they try their best in school? Probably not. Socialism makes -everyone- responsible for the dregs of society.

Liberals want a system where everyone is completely dependent on the government. This is why Liberals are against gun ownership, homeschooling, et cetera. The premise of Liberalism is that you are an incompetant moron who is completely unable to take care of yourself.

See, everyone taking care of themselves and their own is what Capitalism is all about. It's about not punishing people for not being fuckups. Capitalism works. Before capitalism took root in the Renaiisance era, there was no real middle class and laborers had to work 14 hours a day.
