Take a better look at where it works.
Scandinavian countries, take a look at the demographic there. It's near impossible to become a citizen. High natural resource to population ratio. Manditory national service requirement (yeah, that's gonna fly in the US). The school systems "sort" students by the time they're 14-17 to see who gets to go to University and who gets to go to trade school.
France, Britian and Germany are not headed in the best direction due to immigration, and immigration related tensions.

Canada has stable population growth, vast natural resources to the North, and a huge immigration buffer to the South. They surely aren't interested in inviting millions of uninsured non-citizens to get free care in their hospitals.
a Canadian worker on average produces only four-fifths the output of an American worker.

Taxes choke the economy, and a solid economy is what affords a higher standard of living. The govmt can't give away resources the country isn't producing. For example Ireland cut taxes from 53% in 1986 to its current 35% , has led to a continuous boom of wealth creation at an average rate of 5.6% during the past two decades, while the number of jobs has grown by over 50%. Between 1990 and 2005 the average overall tax burden was 55% in Finland, 58% in Denmark and 61% in Sweden.
You show me where socialism is working, and I'll show you how it isn't.
