Also please explain public roads, bridges, canals, dams, ports. Those are all paid for by taxes, all socialist ideas.

GG you can leave now too, you lost.
Are you suggesting roads, bridges, canals, dams, and ports did not exist prior to the formulation of the concept of Socialism? Are you suggesting that any of these require public control of manufacturing to accomplish? Either suggestion is wrong.

The founders hated mobs. They were all for democratic election of representatives, but were against direct votes such as 5 men voting to rape one woman or five hundred thousand voting to enslave two hundred thousand.
