This is a direct result of the baby boomers and their politics.

Don't see it as a major concern -- young people don't vote in large enough numbers to make it actually happen.

Utopian systems sound great; their functioning, not as much. They always end in tragedy. The people that accomplish something just don't want to yield the fruits of their labor. So sad. And that is the case even when you dress it up as:
  1. Reparations for slavery;
  2. Climate adjustment payments under the Paris Climate Accords;
  3. "We are the world".
Need I go on?

Ayn Rand had these pegged when she said their true motivation was to acquire what they did not earn.

Read the Communist Manifesto and the 47 rules of Communist revolution... they have been almost completely successful in America. It is sad when our young adults say 70% will likely vote Socialist and 1/3 say Communism may be ok. A bloodless takeover is almost complete...

The encouraging part is that these entitled souls' motivation is tepid and halfhearted in any case. Any move toward Socialism will be quickly taken from them without fuss.

These nuevo Communists are just not smart enough to maintain power.

Nonetheless their actions will cause a speed bump in our economy.

They'll NEVER vote in large enough numbers. Relax.

communism is a strawman

what these people generally want is highly regulated capitalism. they just don't know what to call it, they call that "socialism, like what denmark has."
