CMV: Socialism wouldn't fix the issues of capitalism.

* Greed is seen as a product of capitalism by many people however I see it as a "take the Lion out of the jungle but you can't take the jungle out of the lion" situation. I see greed as more of a mindset rather than a nurtured characteristic. For example there are some children more inclined to share than others, that has nothing to do with a capitalist society so why should it be seen like that at high levels of business? I think that this "greed" is brought on by the highly competitive nature of business and, going back to my analogy, turning a socialist society wouldn't stop people wanting to beat others and be more successful. 
* Furthermore I don't think seeing everyone as equal is the right way to think. Someone earning more than someone else doesn't mean they're entitled to more than others, but the fact that they pay more taxes than the person with a lower income does. For example in the UK we have free healthcare (funded with taxpayers money) someone who earns more has contributed more to that than someone else so why shouldn't they be seen first if they have the same injuries? I concede that this argument doesn't apply to schooling since the wealthy people's children having first choice of schools doesn't fit with the capitalist ideology that you can work your way up and build your own wealth.
* Finally, one big issue that causes the big inequalities of modern society is inherited wealth. If a different system is put into place (for example wealth would be donated or put back into the government upon death) it would invoke a feeling of finality and hopelessness in people; there would be no purpose to accruing funds or possessions as they'll simply be lost upon death. While a counter to this could be that this will cause a shift in priorities amongst citizens I think that's an unrealistic shift to hope for in modern western society.

To your first point - that's not really a problem. Socialism doesn't seek to eliminate greed because it doesn't seek to eliminate the market. We only seek to add rules and welfare systems to the market to make sure everyone does alright. In the process we have to take away some of the rewards of success - but not all of them. Greed-motivated success is still possible. Unregulated capitalism vs. democratic socialism as like gladiatorial fights vs. modern football - in both systems, the winners are still motivated to win, but in the latter we have some rules to prevent the losers from dying horribly. 

As to your second point, it will be very hard for any socialist to convince you that socialism is good if you don't believe that everyone is worthy of the same treatment because that is the fundamental idea of socialism. Solidarity - the idea of "today you, tomorrow me." We recognize that society functions best when some basic services are provided at the same level to everyone. So yes, in a socialist country it wouldn't matter what your paycheck looks like, you get the same healthcare as everyone else. 

And the third point - well - "there would be no purpose to accruing funds or possessions as they'll simply be lost upon death" - yes, we agree. Making lots of money to buy nice things is a great reward for hard work, but hoarding vast sums of wealth until death and beyond is insane and should be stopped. There should be a strong estate tax affecting those who pass on large amounts of wealth to encourage the wealthy to instead invest or give away their controlled wealth before they die.
