The homogenous cultural makeup of the democratic-socialist countries is not present in America. I love the Mexican flags being waved at the Bernie rallies and his supporters when protesting Donald Trump. That's why it wont work here and is a recipe for disaster.

It wont be voted in, is what your saying. Your not giving me a reason why our system is somehow different so that if it was implemented, it wouldn't work. I'm trying to seperate these two notions.
Supply-side economics has basically been proven empirically wrong. When you cut taxes on the rich, it usually (there are exceptions) doesn't give you the same tax revenue as you had before due to growth.
Reagan (or at least his handlers) knew it was bullshit when he said it. We have seen the impact -- record inequality, stagnate real wages, shrinking middle class. We're sick of fucking hearing it. Cutting taxes for wealthy people -- help wealthy people -- not poor or most middle class people. No shit? Shouldn't have that been obvious right away?
