Just because we could, doesn't mean we should

Ventura takes someone to task for mislabeling Sanders as a Communist rather than a Socialist and ends the comment by saying if we weren't involved in the wars we could pay for everything Sanders is proposing.
I won't even go into the feasibility of being able to have a balanced budget with Sanders's utopic programs, but instead I will just say, even if the country could pay for them and have a balanced budget, should they be paying for those programs? What is the moral justification that Sanders, or Clinton or anyone else uses to take from one man for the sake of another? And what is with the trend of holding certain European countries out as being somehow better than Capitalism (as opposed to the sudo-Captialism we have here in the US)?
