The Future Of America? – More Than Half Of All U.S. Adults Under Age 30 Now Reject Capitalism By Michael Snyder, on April 27th, 2016 Young People Abstract - Public DomainA shocking new survey has found that support for capitalism is dying in America. In fact, more than half of all adults in the United States under the age of 30 say that they do not support capitalism at this point. You might be tempted to dismiss them as “foolish young people”, but the truth is that they are the future of America. As older generations die off, they will eventually become the leaders of this country. And of course our nation has not resembled anything close to a capitalist society for quite some time now. In a recent article, I listed 97 different taxes that Americans pay each year, and some Americans actually end up returning more than half of what they earn to the government by the time it is all said and done. So at best it could be said that we are running some sort of hybrid system that isn’t as far down the road toward full-blown socialism as most European nations are. But without a doubt we are moving in that direction, and our young people are going to be cheering every step of the way. When I first heard of this new survey from Harvard University, I was absolutely stunned. The following is from what the Washington Post had to say about it… The Harvard University survey, which polled young adults between ages 18 and 29, found that 51 percent of respondents do not support capitalism. Just 42 percent said they support it. It isn’t clear that the young people in the poll would prefer some alternative system, though. Just 33 percent said they supported socialism. The survey had a margin of error of 2.4 percentage points. Could it be possible that young adults were confused by the wording of the survey? Well, other polls have come up with similar results… The university’s results echo recent findings from Republican pollster Frank Luntz, who surveyed 1,000 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26 and found that 58% of respondents believed socialism to be the “more compassionate” political system when compared to capitalism. And when participants were asked to sum up the root of America’s problem in one word, 29% said “greed.” This trend among our young people is very real, and you can see it in their support of Bernie Sanders. For millions upon millions of young adults in America today, Hillary Clinton is not nearly liberal enough for them. So they have flocked to Sanders, and if they had been the only ones voting in this election season, he would have won the Democratic nomination by a landslide. Sadly, most of our young people don’t seem to understand how socialism slowly but surely destroys a nation. If you want to see the end result of socialism, just look at the economic collapse that is going on in Venezuela right now. The following comes from a Bloomberg article entitled “Venezuela Doesn’t Have Enough Money to Pay for Its Money“… Venezuela’s epic shortages are nothing new at this point. No diapers or car parts or aspirin — it’s all been well documented. But now the country is at risk of running out of money itself. In a tale that highlights the chaos of unbridled inflation, Venezuela is scrambling to print new bills fast enough to keep up with the torrid pace of price increases. Most of the cash, like nearly everything else in the oil-exporting country, is imported. And with hard currency reserves sinking to critically low levels, the central bank is doling out payments so slowly to foreign providers that they are foregoing further business. Venezuela, in other words, is now so broke that it may not have enough money to pay for its money. We are losing an entire generation of young people. These days, there is quite a lot of talk about how we need to get America back to the principles that it was founded upon, but the cold, hard reality of the matter is that most of our young people are running in the opposite direction as fast as they can. And Americans under the age of 30 are not just becoming more liberal when it comes to economics. Surveys have found that they are more than twice as likely to support gay rights and less than half as likely to regularly attend church as the oldest Americans are. So why is this happening? Well, the truth is that our colleges and universities have become indoctrination centers for the progressive movement. I know, because I spent eight years at public universities in this country. The quality of the education that our young people are receiving is abysmal, but the values that are being imparted to them will last a lifetime. And of course the same things could be said about our system of education all the way down to the kindergarten level. There are still some good people in the system, but overall it is overwhelmingly dominated by the progressives. Meanwhile, the major entertainment providers in the United States are also promoting the same values. In a recent article entitled “Depressing Survey Results Show How Extremely Stupid America Has Become“, I discussed a Nielsen report which detailed how much time the average American spends consuming media on various electronic devices each day… Watching live television: 4 hours, 32 minutes Watching time-shifted television: 30 minutes Listening to the radio: 2 hours, 44 minutes Using a smartphone: 1 hour, 33 minutes Using Internet on a computer: 1 hour, 6 minutes Overall, the average American spends about 10 hours a day consuming one form of entertainment or another. When you allow that much “programming” into your mind, it is inevitable that it is going to shape your values, and our young people are more “plugged in” than any of the rest of us. So yes, I believe that it is exceedingly clear why we should be deeply concerned about the future of America. The values that are being relentlessly pounded into the heads of our young people are directly opposed to the values that this nation was founded upon, and it is these young people that will determine the path that this country ultimately takes.

How would they know when most of them have never experienced it?
BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
the average American spends about 10 hours a day consuming one form of entertainment or another. If america does not resemble a capitalist society, it does not resemble a socialist society either. What we have here is post modernism gone mad, the idea we can have it all and do nothing but sleep and be entertained. That america is moving away from capitalism and multinationalism is a good thing not a bad thing. Capitalism has concentrated the wealth in the hands of a few, the 1% within the 1%, and multinationalism has raped the other nations of the world, destroying incentive to develop their own industries and creating enemies
Is there any wonder that there are 16 reasons why the United States is going to hell in a handbasket. In the meantime, a survey finds the percent of Americans smoking weed has doubled since 2002.
Perfectly explained.
If it weren't for American capitalism the world will still be rebuilding the rubble of WWII. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
LMAO. Yeah, tell that to all the surfs and slaves of the world before capitalism ever showed up. The wealth of the world for thousands of years before capitalism was owned and/or controlled by far less than 1% of the population. Nice try at rewriting history though. BTW, exactly how wealthy is the U.K. Royal family theses days? Or the Saudi Royal family? Or Putin and his henchmen? потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
They are confused about everything because they have been brainwashed back and forth continually until the have confused mush for minds.

You have to move away from this obscession with a glorious past. After destroying much of Europe and Japan, you helped rebuild it for a profit. Bully for you, as I said you raped the nations of the world. Tied aid does not suggest anything other than a profit motive, you got fat on war and reconstruction profits, a modus operandi you perfected in the civil war and were still using 100 years later, in the process your lend lease, didn't help with the reconstruction of Britain, you hastened its demise
Don't forget the clintons, the champions of the common people who get a quarter million million dollars a half hour for speechs saying nothing.
The U.S. destroyed much of Europe? Are you serious? As for Japan, the only help in the Pacific that I recall came from your Land of OZ, the Kiwis, England, China, Phillipines, Canada. Are you really complaining that the U.S. bombed Japan into submission and kept you from speaking Japanese? "Tied aid does not suggest anything other than a profit motive, you got fat on war and reconstruction profits, a modus operandi you perfected in the civil war and were still using 100 years later, in the process your lend lease, didn't help with the reconstruction of Britain, you hastened its demise." What total BS. Aid tied to what? Just ask Germany and Japan about how they are both dominated by the U.S. who financed the rebuilding of their respective economies. Also ask the U.K., France and Russia just how much the U.S. dominates their respective economies. And while you are at it ask all of those USSR satellites just how well they fared under Russian domination after WWll. The demise of the U.K. was of it's own doing and started by the U.K.'s headlong pursuit of nationalization shortly after the end of the war when they booted out Churchill. As for OZ, my recollection is that your country embarked on a policy of mass immigration to bolster its population mainly taking in North Western Europeans. I don't recall you guys helping anybody else out in rebuilding their economies. Lastly WWII accelerated the development of Australia's manufacturing industry and bolstered its economy - something that you did not share with your WWII allies around the globe. Yes, the U.S. was the only one standing after WWII that had the capability, will and interest in helping the world rebuild itself. BFD that we made some money at it. Their isn't a single participant in WWII that isn't fully independent of U.S. domination, much less control. I dare say that had the U.K., France, Russia, Japan, Germany, and, OZ had that sole benefactor position the independence of the rest of world economies would be severely more compromised. BTW, how much foreign aid does Australia give each year? потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
No, I truly wish to forget them. Unfortunately Trump has assured that the Billaries will be in the WH for another eight years - likely with DRat control of the Senate and thus SCOTUS. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Venezuela’s epic shortages are nothing new at this point. No diapers or car parts or aspirin — it’s all been well documented. Mendacious propaganda for the naive.
Or perhaps more people are willing to admit it in a survey?
Would WWII take place?
A liile bit difficult to do when you don't have a strong economy, I lived in a place post war where power cuts were a frequent and daily occurence, where there were dirt roads, and public housing projects were needed to house the population, there was no capital to help out an enemy, we could barely help ourselves and it took twenty years for that economic miracle to arrive. You seem to think that just because the war ended everything was great but the US did more for its enemies than it did for its allies, why, I cannot imagine. The people who's disgusting policies had laid waste Europe and parts of Asia we given a hand up while you decended into paraniod Mccarthyism and a cold war with a former ally
Would WWII take place? You are kidding, right? потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Hardly. Things weren't all that great for Americans right after the war as well. "US did more for its enemies than it did for its allies, why, I cannot imagine." Now you are bitching because the U.S. didn't pour money into your country? How much blood and treasure did OZ lose in the war? HINT: A fraction of what the U.S. did. And exactly who kept the sh*t eating Bear off the backs of our allies and most of the rest of the world, mostly at our expense, for decades thereafter? And what did we demand in return? HINT: Nothing. The only land that the U.S. has in France is were the bodies of our soldiers are buried. Next you will join asshole A Pole and claim that the U.S. started WWII. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Well, the truth is that our colleges and universities have become indoctrination centers for the progressive movement. Another reason it's happening is that globalist corporate leaders hijacked the idea of capitalism to justify open borders and "free trade" - so they could further fatten their wallets by gutting the middle class of a U.S. for which they care nothing. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.
Do not insult me.
Do not insult me. Then don't act like an asshole by asking asshole questions. Where do you come off implying that the U.S. was the cause of WWII? That itself is insulting so you deserve what you got. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
You are not fit for a civilized reasonable debate.
All you are is an ankle biting bomb throwing snake in the grass. You make a stupid comment that the U.S. started WWII then run like a little chicken sh*t girl when asked to defend your remark. You are correct I am not fit for civilized reasonable debate WITH YOU as you are a BS coward, Boris, and will call you out on that every time. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
You said: "If it weren't for American capitalism the world will still be rebuilding the rubble of WWII." I said: "Would WWII take place?" If America did not get involved in the FIRST world war and Wilson did not try his experiment with setting a new order in Europe (including financial system informed by the FED), very likely history would go a very different way. Possibly better, possibly worse. We will never know. Once you get involved, you own it to the extent you got involved. Both good and better outcomes.
Now you are blaming the U.S. for WWI? Piss off, moron. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Listen dickhead don't project your crap on me. OZ lost a lot in WWII, Darwin had to be rebuilt, we gave ourselves selflessly to the defense of Britain only to be betrayed, why would we rebuild Europe when we needed to rebuild ourselves, no we offered the displaced a home and a fresh start away from the crap. You can't spend your money twice, a lesson the US hasn't learned Don't tell me how much the US lost, you lost Pearl Harbour but you didn't have the Japs on your doorstep with nothing but a few illtrained teenagers to hold them back. Your forces were still there available to defend your country, sitting on their duff while the world burned
Who was it that offered contracts to participate in the work of rebuilding? Who profitted exactly? I notice you have a penchant for declaring other people or organizations who offer their services for a price are always guilty of rape or greed. Why is that? Do you expect other people to work for free? Why are you always so resentful?
I said "involved", not "started". (at the end). You did not know it?
I don't expect anything for free however, a fair price and not profiteering
Profiteering. There's a new negative word in addition to the others you use. Tell me who made excess profits in rebuilding ruined post-war nations and where did they come from?
Poland was rebuilt with Polish hands, not with American money. You worship America as she were God.
I said "involved", not "started". (at the end). You did not know it? WWII start with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. What you seem not to know is that Wilson argued against the other allies to take revenge on Germany by driving Germany into the dust with harsh, if not impossible, terms retribution. The facts are that the treaty was perceived by many as too great a departure from U.S. President Wilson's 14 Points, and, also by the British as too harsh in its treatment of Germany. If you want to play the What IF game, then WWII would have be avoided had those seeking vengeance and harsh retribution not prevailed over Wilson's counsel. How about discussing the role the Bolsheviks played in starting WWI and thereafter? One of the main reasons the U.S. was dragged into WWI was that the Bolsheviks pull out and left a big void in the European fight against Germany. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
LMAO. Our duff was large enough to save yours. You'd be speaking Japanese to me right now had it not been for the U.S. duff. It is amazing how in 60-70 years you ill trained of the world forget how you were able to avoid being conquered and subsequently prosper while the U.S. shielded you from the Big Bear hunting in your woods. F*ck off, mate. The blood and treasure of the U.S. lost in WWII paid for the freedom, prosperity and ingratitude you enjoy today. That said, the world has been and is a much better place for the strong ally relationship among the U.S., UK, OZ and Canada. This in spite of the egregious racism and bigotry existing in OZ even today. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Yes, but without American involvement France and England would have to agree for more equitable peace treaty.
America is the center of the Universe. Indispensable nation. That is why the nations closest to her in Latin America and Caribbeans that were under American supervision are so prosperous. Germans and Swiss got more money, Italy and Greece got less, that is why the later were poor for decades.
With ample justification as it was America that was the prime engine in rebuilding the world left in rubble by WWII. No-one else had the capacity, will and integrity to do so at that time. The U.S. could just as easily told the rest of the world to kiss off and fend for themself. We didn't. And we didn't demand anything in return. Even our enemies prospered after the war. We took no territory, demanded no retribution (as the European Allies did after WWI), and, helped our enemies rebuild their societies. What did Russia do after WWII? Enslaved tens of millions of people, that's what. Certainly the world has changed in 70 years since WWII and the U.S. skirts haven't always been clean. But in the vast scale of things no other nation on the planet would have been as less demanding of tribute and less controlling of world affairs than the U.S. Certainly not Russia and not just about all of Western Europe. God? No. But certainly a dynamic benevolent force for betterment on the planet, more so than any other country in history. The cry of "America First" (whatever that means) is still being argued internally across the political spectrum. And tell me exactly how do all the rest of the countries on the planet deal with hordes of uninvited illegals crossing their borders and embedding themselves in the fabric of their society? There is no doubt that America is on the decline and has been for awhile now. You believe that that is a good thing. History definitively proves you wrong. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
They should be sent off to enjoy a socialist paradise for a while. They will tire of the government being more compassionate with their money.
You should be sent to some capitalist paradise in Africa or maybe in Latin America. Unfortunately the later got ruined to some extent by the socialists.
In other words they would have lost the war. Well OK then. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
What nations would those be? потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
The ones that have pure free market and no socialism. No public health care, no public education, no safety net, no trade unions, etc ... Make your pick and move there.
The international banking cartels. They not only profit from the rebuilding of nations but also drug cartels they protect on behalf of the Queen of England beforeitsnews.com/conspir...-trafficking-1947644.html.
I have often wondered about your monicker. What does your monicker mean to you? I saw your posts on LP and always thought you were trying to be faceious about "goldilocks."
I made it up. It means luck on the gold prospecting. A friend of mine and I use to go gold prospecting in the mountains near Gorman, Ca.
This is scary. Socialism is communism with a lampshade on its head just waiting to pounces. It will be the first grown up generation that believes Santa Claus is real. That believe health care, housing, internet, education and pizza grows on trees along side trillion dollar bills! The real reason socialist hate guns! Suicides would skyrocket do to no hope brought about by socialism and pissed off slaves taken out their anger on the elites! But since these under 30 kids have been told that they live in capitalism but in reality have really been raise in a crony capitalist society ie socialism light what can one expect? What does communist manifesto say? Break the back of a free society by using government to splitting people into groups such as race, gender and class. Then turn them on each other by crazy over burdensome laws!!!!
Panning or digging?
Panning using a gold detector.
You can't speak to us about egregious racism and bigotry without including yourself with bigger tickets than us. look at the Trump campaign, Mr. Dump spouts racism and bigotry and his supporters agree with him. Your whole system discriminates against blacks, the poor and those without means. You want to tell us how much you did for us but you did it for yourselves not for us, you got your arse kicked in Pearl Harbour and took what opportunities you could to knock over the Japanese, Until Pearl Harbour you demonstrated little interest in stopping the Japanese and I think you were somewhat surprised how easily they took the Phillipines. The Japanese weren't interested in Australia but as an enemy they had to push us back and stop the US using it as a base. We lost a Division in Malaya and Singapore, where were you?
You are fucked in the head. Do you swallow too?
Not as fucked as you will be if he becomes President
Oh Bull shit. Not a fairer system in the world. This is the reason why so many people come here of all races. They know there is no place you can go to work honest hard and get what you worked for. Well at least 20 years ago before socialist took over the freaken government! This is bs that just shows how distorted people are. The biggest problem with blacks is well blacks! Not America! Not Whitie but the crazy ass black people and their desire to not be a part of a western society. They want to act like animals and be called normal! Even good black people fear their own people! As long as people like you give them a pass to act like animals then they will never grow the hell up!!!!!!!!!!!
You sound like a liberal piece of shit.
On LP, Goldi was Goldi-Lox. Earlier, in 2001, Goldi was on FR handled as goldilucky.
You got a memory like a hawk,
Yep, you're correct. I remember you on FR days. A friend of mine from Judicial Watch referred me over to FR. That forum has not changed a bit.
She was Goldi-Lox on FR, too. http://freerepublic.com/tag/by:goldilox/index?brevity=full;tab=comments Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
ROTFL!
Nope. I was just goldilucky on FR. Never had more than one account on that site. I sure miss TBLSHOW and Clown Posse though. Sultan88 passed on. He was a decent poster (retired judge if I recall). Tony Snow passed away from cancer several years back. He was a regular poster on FR. The late Barbara Olson also was on FR before her untimely death.
Ok, I didn't read the whole thread. I was just saying Goldi Lox on LP was Goldi Lox on FR. So, maybe I missed something the discussion.

From 2010. Looks like you're the flip flopper. You used to be against illegals invading us and for bringing jobs back. Not so much anymore.
Get a clue moron.
He actually drove one weekend from Riverside over to Sierra Vista in Southern Arizona to stand watch with Chris Wilcox’s Minuteman Project to “protect us.” That group’s effort turned into a colossal cluster fuck, just like everything else in Buck’s life. Perhaps that dismal failure soured him and caused him to flip-flop. Poor Bucky …
I was Columbo on Clown Posse. dungbeetle (Sam Hill/Hon) was someone else altogether, Steve Gilbert, who ran Sweetness & Light for ten years until it went on hiatus last year.
It looks like he is on Wordpress.
I would have to doubt that site has any connection with the TLBSHOW that was associated with LP. TLBSHOW never exhibited anything close to that level of creativity, BUT GOOD! Plus there are no pictures of Ann Coulter.

You sound like a liberal piece of shit. That's because he is one. And pretty smooth. He should be writing speechs for Hellary and Obama. Infact he is, but comes here to deliver them for them.
hey, I'm not in favour of either Dilliery or BO, it just happens I don't like red neck racist capitalist bastards
I wish these progressives could travel with me to Russia, and see the big beautiful pigs of Animal Farm. God maintains a delicate balance between keeping his existence sufficiently evident so people will know he's there and yet hiding his presence enough so that people who want to choose to ignore him can do it.

Public DomainA shocking new survey has found that support for capitalism is dying in America. In fact, more than half of all adults in the United States under the age of 30 say that they do not support capitalism at this point. You might be tempted to dismiss them as “foolish young people”, but the truth is that they are the future of America.

Well, the truth is that our colleges and universities have become indoctrination centers for the progressive movement. I know, because I spent eight years at public universities in this country. The quality of the education that our young people are receiving is abysmal, but the values that are being imparted to them will last a lifetime.
