You should be more concerned that your government can force your children to get untested dangerous vaccines, put fluoride in your drinking water, roll back environmental laws, reverse assault rifle bans, bail out big banks and auto manufacturers while your family starves, give tax cuts to billionaires, arrest doctors who come up with alternate cancer cures, take away your children in corrupt family court proceedings, and a host of other things. But you don’t care.

Nope. You must be talking about another country, not the USA.

This question is at the heart of conservative ignorance about how an economy and the U.S. Constitution works. Conservatives think they make their money in a vacuum, not giving any credit to the society that made that wealth creation possible. Conservatives want society to bear the costs of wealth creation, but keep the profits private. Private profit but public costs leads to things like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and public debt.
It never was sustainable, and never will be.
By the way, the U.S. Constitution explicitly prescribes taking of private property for public purposes. See the 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Somebody show this guy a Venn diagram. "All liberal candidates..." If you expect yourself to be taken seriously, don't make such ridiculous exaggerations.
Addressing the socialist mindset, these people believe that most wealth is not accumulated due to one's own hard work and merit, but rather as the result of a rigged game. For example, there's the revolving door in the government-lobbyist-executive circles and the military-industrial complex, and the corrupt practices of the financial industry. These systems are expressly designed such that winners keep winning, and nobody who is not born into those systems can play. Executives in these fields often earn in excess of one thousand times their employees' average salary.
You've heard everything I'm going to say. You've heard how the top 1% in this country own 38% of everything in it, and the top 10% own 75% of it. I'm not saying socialism is the only way out, but how is anybody okay with the way that things are? If we spread the wealth out evenly, 98.5% of people would have more (usually way more), and 1.5% of people would have less, but easily enough to live comfortably.
Honest question: what would you do to change things?

When you lump everyone together, conservatives or liberals or anyone else, you show that you are unable to evaluate people individually. This inability to engage in critical thinking will lead you astray in your assumptions and beliefs.
