When people say socialism doesn't work (and in this case I'm talking about socialism not as Marx's conception of socialism as a totalitarian dictatorship that sits in between capitalism and stateless communism, but the definition of more social programs and the like), I'd say it doesn't work on a practical level.
As a middle-class individual I give over a dollar of tax money to the government for every dollar I get to bring home, and yet there are still homeless people begging for food at the supermarket.
My great grandfather didn't pay income tax for a good chunk of his life, and here I am paying half of every dollar I make, and I'm still seeing homeless people begging for food at the supermarket. That's an epic failure.
