Except the Americans who don't pay taxes then has the audacity to demand that someone else pay more.

In fact, a 2010 CBS/New York Times survey found that when Americans were asked to use their own words to define the word “socialism” millennials were the least able to do so. According to the survey, only 16 percent of millennials could define socialism as government ownership.

They don’t understand that socialism means the government owns the banks, the car companies, Uber, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, etc.

There is evidence that support for socialism and a government-managed economy rises when millennials attend college and then recedes after they graduate.




Socialism Punk’d You, Millennials

Yes. Move to Colorado.

In the interview, Wasserman Schultz could not for the life of her explain the difference between a Democrat and a socialist. Instead, she kept ignoring Matthews’ question.

Students were just as speechless as the Florida congresswoman, and even admitted that perhaps the difference between Democrats and socialists isn’t so big after all

Socialists think a viable system is where people are going to go against their genetic hard-wiring and give up self-interest, transfer wealth from the productive and creative class, and believe there's a limitless supply of other people's money they can forcibly take to carry and nurture the dead-weight of society (which would increase greatly, as most won't want to be the sucker doing the work). It doesn't seem very reasonable, actually ass backwards.


Asking a Sanders fan. I asked in the kindest way I knew how “Hey, can I just ask you a quick question? I’m not going to argue with you. I just want to ask a question.” He obliged, and so it went as such:

Me: Why Bernie Sanders?
Voter: Because I’m a liberal who doesn’t like Hillary.
Me: Why are you a liberal?
Voter: Because I like big government.
Me: You like other people telling you what to do?
Voter: Yeah.
Me: Okay. Have a nice day.

I've read this a couple times ... and you are correct about the roads. The part about the cops, fire, and school goes over my head. I am too old to actually find out about her SS.

I guess what I'm getting at is ... what's your point? Mine was (to quote KJV) "When I was a child, I thought like a child. When I became a man, I thought like a man".

That's exactly what they are trying to do but the jobs are just not there. There is no entitlement, they just want a job.

Both of your links say Millennials identify more as Democrats/liberals than they do as Republicans/Conservatives or Libertarians.
