Why So Many Millennials Are Socialists
Septuagenarian presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has been capitalizing on young people’s lack of knowledge and life experience to sell them a bill of rotten goods.

Since when did socialism become en vogue? It seems like only a few years ago being called a socialist in American politics was an insult. Today, however, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders—a self-avowed socialist—is quickly rising in the polls, and millennials are largely driving his support.

The Iowa caucus entrance poll found Sanders garnered an overwhelming 84 percent of the 30 and under vote. Exit polls from New Hampshire found 85 percent support for Sanders among voters ages 30 and younger. What is going on?

Millennials are simply not that alarmed by the idea of socialism. For instance, a national Reason-Rupe survey found that 53 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds view socialism favorably, compared to only a quarter of Americans over 55. A more recent January YouGov survey found that 43 percent of respondents younger than 30 viewed socialism favorably, compared to 32 percent thinking favorably of capitalism...........(SNIP)

I have a Nephew who is 30 years old and was set to vote for Bernie. My Nephew is an Athiest, has never held down a full-time job for long, and has grown his hair down past his shoulders. He's arrogant and knows everything. He's also a College graduate. He loves to go to the "Burning Man Ritual" and would like to spend his life dancing and sitting in trees. His parents are well to do and help him to survive financially. They even bought him a Condo and had to take it back from him. He's what they used to call, "A Loser."

When his parents pass on, they're "Baby Boomers" in their 60s, he will inherit their money and properties. Most likely, he's just waiting for that day to come?

That's sad. That's a kid who literally needs the sense slapped into him.

I believe if Hillary gets into office she'll continue to run this country into the ground by following in the footsteps of Obama. I believe Obama has been the worst President in my lifetime. I used to think Carter was until Obama came along. Not only will she destroy us financially, but, will end up getting us into a war with Russia. There's almost no doubt about that. She desires to be a "Wartime President." Some in government, no doubt, believe that a massive War would help us out financially. However, if it turns "Nuclear" all bets are off. China and North Korea would most likely be drawn into such a War.

Does anybody really believe the U.S. could be the Victor in a "Nuclear exchange?" There are no victors in a Nuclear War, only casualties.

Best case scenario: N. Korea nukes L.A. and San Francisco, which saves me here in California and gets rid of our modern Sodoms, and we wipe N. Korea off the map, which teaches the other nations a lesson. Win-Win.

Long hair? Better keep him away from the women and children.

Well, I guess you wouldn't mind dying in a "direct hit" from a Nuclear Missile, however, there are a few of us who would rather not. So, cross your fingers and hope that one of those missiles will hit your home first. That way, you can go out in a blaze of glorious bravery. By the way, it sounds as if you, have NO Commonsense? Is that so?

No, be not so. Its not good strategy to let the enemy know your unwilling to defend and retaliate.

If the name fits.........

I can cook up one for you if you'd like.

What an excellent argument for the estate tax...

What are you talking about? It's the ultimate free-market dream. That kid's parents did so well, even their children don't have to work. It's another Great American success story, like the Waltons.

You think that not working, living on dad's money, and using that money to spit in the face of the very system that allowed his dad to make that money, is an American Dream?

Work is dignity. Work is not just about money. Not that you would know anything about dignity.

You are one twisted sister. Laying around like a slob and embracing ignorant socialism may be a dream for little Bolsheviks like you, but its not a dream for real Americans with morals and ethics.
