Why is Socialism and social programs embraced by so many, even in the U.S.?

I know you are correct. Socialism causes people to not care any more about inventing or making things better. Communism is a kind of socialism that says that there should not be social cles or states. That is what socialism is. No one should own even their own property, factories, and etc. but should be owned by everyone. If everyone owns a factory and everyone gets paid the same amount, what is the incentive in working hard or inventing anything since everyone will get the credit for what you did? The government takes over and runs every phase of our lives. I'm with you who would want to live that kind of life after the freedoms we have had since the Pilgrims landed on these great shores and our four fathers wrote the Constitution. According to the United States Constitution, the president is not allowed to vote unless there is a tie. Obama seems to be doing all the voting and does not care what the people think or the Republicans in the House or the Senate. Obama and the Democratic Congress are voting behind close doors (unconstitutional).
