I also think that the kind of competition fostered by a socialistic approach, being less greed-oriented, is more likely to produce positive results. Competition, like pride and patriotism, is healthy only in the right ratio and spirit. 

Indeed, it never ceases to amaze me how far out of their way people (not always their government) are willing to go, when an ex-service person needs help.

It's like a socialism feedback loop...
