So basically the same as in the US - socialism exists for the rich in the form of tax cuts and leniency by the legal system, but for no one else.

The US actually spends trillions of dollars every year on social welfare programs. social security (for the old and disabled), Medicare, medicaid, and food stamps being some of the biggest ones.

Its always weird to me when people say the US doesn't provide anything for poor people because it indicates that its probably not a poor person saying that because actual poor people know that these programs exist and use them.
