I hate talking points like this. They don't "own" anyone. They just expose a simpleton world view every bit as disingenuous and damaging as the trickle down economics crowd.
No one, and I mean no one, isn't a supporter of socialist policies because it is handing out free shit or more accurately put, shit obtained using money gathered from the masses, they are mad because that "shit" is not something everyone can easily produce an infinite supply of. Every argument against socialist policies lead back to the same fact that root cause, scarcity of resources.
You want to solve hunger, homelessness, etc come up with a way to feed and house people that can't do for themselves without taking from the masses in a way that ends up in massive corruption, debt, and market collapse.
The root issues are limited resources and a society that preaches individuality above all else in every situation. Until those 2 things are no longer issues then socialist policies are just deferred pain and more debt, just like conservative tax cuts.
