Steve's barking; Socialism helps the free market system

Some people might call it heresy, but the fact of the matter, socialism in a capitalist society greatly enriches the free market system.
How is that you may ask?
Think of it as putting money into the hands of consumers. More shoppers to be able to afford products being sold. The more a product is being sold. The more that a product is being sold the more companies want to produce that product. Now that's one of the most important ingredient in the free market system.
Now I know that the free market system needs capital(ism) how else would the entrepreneur gets the money to,produce their product.
Some time the capitalist can and has in the past discouraged the producing and marketing of new products just because they fear any any kind of completion.
Now how would a form of socialism help the U.S. Think of the U.S. health system. If we had a single payee system (I stole this idea from Germany) employers would no longer have to pay for health insurance but the government would pay for your health insurance in a well regulated insurance industry. The consumer would have freedom of choice  as per health insurance which they don't have now.
It's also important to understand that the rich man will only buy so many watches, while the masses can and will buy so much more. The masses need the means (money) to purchase watches.
I understand that many of my fellow countrymen will claim that socialism is a form of taking from some hard working person's money destroying any incentives to invest or start a business..
If one try's to argue with them that socialism can actually be a form of making it easier for the capitalist and entrepreneur they will  scream at you and tell you of the work of Dr Bla,Bla, Bla  from take your pick Harvard, Stanford, Yale, or Steward's College.That the good doctor's work proves that socialism is the root of all evil.
