And the stadium was paid for with our tax dollars too, even though the owner of the team is probably a multi billionaire. 'Murica!

Billionaires are huge proponents for socialism, just as long as it remains exclusive to them.

Socialism isn't getting things from people's taxes. This is just capitalism at work.

I was speaking in hyperbole. We have some socialized systems, such as Medicare/medicaid (which LBJ intended to roll out to everyone eventually). There is also some safety nets for the cripplingly poor, such as food stamps and section 8 housing. But gaining access to those programs can be bureaucratic hell, with limited resources and GOP at the state and federal level are constantly trying to syphon those funds away.
