That's a meaningless statement without defining which form of capitalism and which form of socialism you are referring to.
I'm a marxist, and I hate many forms of socialism. Karl Marx hated many forms of socialism. He even devoted a chapter of the Communist Manifesto to ripping apart forms of socialism he didn't like.
The thing is, socialism is all over America and people actually like it. I'm guessing even you. For example, the military, public roads, the police, public libraries, public schools, fire departments, postal service, garbage collection, public landfills, the FBI, the polio vaccine (Dr. Salk could have sold his vaccine in the free market and made millions and millions of dollars. Instead he gave it to the federal government to begin eradicating polio.), museums, public parks, sewers, the GI bill, public beaches, snow removal, street lights, Amtrak, NPR, USDA, FDA, the Census, and on and on.
This exact "implementation" of socialism doesn't prove it does better job than capitalism would. FYI I'm Russian and you can imagine what communism was (it was hell). No need to remove socialism completely, just keep taxes less and let people work. Look at Singapore.
