I really don’t want to start an argument about economic systems. Your example is ridiculous - not even marxists would agree with that plan, let alone socialists. I just have 2 points:

1. The US is not a meritocracy, as there are manyother factors in determining the chances you get in life, including family wealth, race, the individuals sex, etc.

2. If the US was a meritocracy, the SATs would be a really poor way of measuring merit.
