Hmmmm. I guess I'm not clear enough on the definitions. I think the government should guarantee basic rights and standards of living. I'm not opposed to having individuals earning and spending money within a legally regulated system.
I'm not sure how to get there, though. I'm sure what I have in mind is sort of not on the bargaining table as it is, as it's "radical socialist freedom-hating" or whatever already. :-P
It sounds like you're wanting to reform capitalism and make it less painful for the working class. That's liberalism. I'm not sure why people think it's socialism.
I'm sort of with wring on this one, but I haven't actually studied economics and political theory in any focused way. If you can clarify, I'd appreciate it. I thought all government aid was somewhat socialistic. And aren't there always twelve or more different theories trying to claim the same name anyway?

No. That is nothing but right-wing propaganda combined with liberals who want to think of themselves as somehow less complicit in capitalism.
