The collective resources of a country should belong to its people. The public treasury should not just be a slush fund for the rich.

Not necessarily. Greedy people can misuse socialism as well as capitalism; a fairytale version of socialism some people are throwing around isn’t that helpful. It’s not so much socialism versus capitalism as it is institutionalized greed versus institutionalized ethical restraint

We need to get a national banking system and get rid of the Federal Reserve. In my opinion.

There is no such thing as the "collective resources" of a country. Your choice of that phrase identifies you as a socialist. If you're a socialist, say so. If not, stop using socialist phrases that you don't understand. Your ignorance of economics is pitiable.

And the People should be seen as the most valuable Resource

Maybe you haven’t been following along with the rest of the class. The reason WHY it has turned to slush is there are SO MANY HANDS in govt grabbing for whatever they can. We bring in $3.2T in taxes every year and we’re $27T in debt. Printing money makes it worse.

Yes, every citizen should own an equal share of their country’s resources. The dividends should be deposited into each individuals account. We should all be on the board of directors and vote on how resources are used.
