You may be content with what you feel is socialism, but real socialism sucks. Over the past hundred years, there have been more than two dozen attempts to build a socialist society. It has been tried in the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Albania, Poland, Vietnam, Bulgaria, Romania, Czechoslovakia, North Korea, Hungary, China, East Germany, Cuba, Tanzania, Laos, South Yemen, Somalia, the Congo, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Mozambique, Angola, Nicaragua and Venezuela, among others not counting the very short-lived ones. All of these attempts have ended in varying degrees of failure. Sweden does not tax the rich and give to the poor. People in Sweden who have a below of average income =$ 37,000 pay 60% in taxes. want proof?
