Just lurking through this thread and I'll quickly respond to the question OP posted, wealth should be distributed simply on your work. This can be how hard you work, getting promoted till you reach the top, or entrepreneurship where you launch and run a new business. Those who do not want to work should not get any money, simple as that.
But the main reason I'm posting because i wanted to respond to this
Labor laws are basically supposed mandated by government. Laws have to be put in place so people don't get screw over, whatever if its from unfair business polices, to burglary, or to kidnapping. This isn't also really a socialist thing, its more a law so people don't get f'd over thing.
Finally there is Public Education and Post office. No I not going to say its not socialism. My problem is that saying that this is a success of socialism. The thing is these places weren't amazing as they were until there is some sort of competition arrives. Some public schools by the government today has some flaws at the moment which is why Charter schools, Private schools and home schooling are a thing. In fact school choice is great for everyone. For the Post Office, it is FedEx and UPS. These companies brought competition. FedEx is noted for starting the tracking your package online thing. This leads both cases into competition which is a huge core in how Capitalism works. Competition is extremely important because it forces similar companies to work on better customer service, better products, lower prices, and new innovations that helps companies get more people to spend on their services, which equals more money to go around, that's one of the main reasons why the United States of America has the highest GDP on the planet. It surely wasn't because of government controlling everything. It was because there was competition and also entrepreneurship which leads to better products for people which helped the economy and wealth distribution overall.
Oh yea also fyi to everyone just because government is involved in X, doesn't always mean that X is part/made by socialism.

First of with Public Roads. I'm pretty sure this is not a socialist idea. This is because roads where created since 4000 B.C, and these places weren't ruled by socialists but by kings. So no roads are not socialism. Far from it.Yes, I can defend Socialism.
Public roads.
Public education.
Social Security.
Medicare.
Medicaid.
Post office.
Labor laws.
And look at the areas where USA does poorly, namely health care and education.
Both of these problems are solved by other countries with more Socialism.
Also, every time Reaganomics has been tried, it has led to Recession, most notably the Great Recession.
