They are all self-described losers---er socialists. Worse than being a democrat.

Our grandparents dealt with the great depression & WW2 and the fear of Hitler taking over the world. You had other fears in the 80's with the Soviet Union.

So many young people in this country have no idea what it's like to live in bad times. They think bad times is not being able to afford an Iphone.

Until something goes on people are just going to keep assuming they deserve things instead of working towards them.

Truer words were never spoke. Anyone under the age of 70 is spoiled and doesn't know the true meaning of real hardship and of doing without. Everyone just wants to play and have fun and spend money on personal luxuries as if it's the natural thing to do..... because that's the lifestyle the past few generations have become accustomed to.

You could change the poll to "Do you want millions of Americans to be killed by an extremist authoritarian government?" And you'd get the same results.

They know they have to lie about their intentions because of how awful they are.

Interesting way to think of it. But I think that right. Sociaism leads to societal decline and decay.

Socialism requires authoritarian government.

These dumb ass kids these days, I mean, wow, I thought I was stupid when I was on college...

Have they paid any bills or taxes yet?

Why pay taxes when others can do it for you?

Norway ? Sweden ? Denmark ?

The definition is....a socialist country.

You listed 3 evil capitalist countries, often touted as successful socialist countries because there has never been a successful socialist country. Ever. Unless of course that socialist country started to embrace capitalism.
