Well I'm a Democratic Socialist which is when you implement a Socialist/Social Democratic political system into government along with some type of class. It's not total equality like what Marxist theory proposes; however, it's a more mild version of it. The rich pay heavy taxes while the working class are catered to the most and are given many benefits including but not limited to
1. Free healthcare
2. Free Education
3. Free/Affordable housing
Due to this, Socialist countries pay a much higher percentage of tax than in a Capitalist system. This is like I've shown, balanced out with benefits and funding to different programs. There's less of a demand for excessive spending and a tighter focus on family and people. Not that socialists don't spend money on stuff, I'm just saying they're less inclined to spend money for no reason unlike in America, where people shot A LOT! ( I'm Canadian BTW so I'd vote NDP (New Democratic Party) )
