Socialism is nowhere near as bad as it is made out to be. Some of the undisputed best countries in the world are socialist. The way socialism would work in this case is that spending would be moved from the military and other nonessential systems and towards things that Americans need, like college or housing. Taxes would increase generally, but they would increase far less the lower income you are. Meanwhile, billionaires would be receiving far greater taxes. The raising of the minimum wage means that more people will attempt to get jobs, and that they will be able to better afford such taxes. For those saying raising the minimum will kill jobs, I don't have anything to say but bullshit. Washington, which recently took on the $15 minimum, now has the best job growth in the country.
