Just 53% Say Capitalism Better Than Socialism

Rasmussen Reports: :

"Only 53% of American adults believe capitalism is better than socialism."

Adults under 30 are essentially evenly divided: 37% prefer capitalism, 33% socialism, and 30% are undecided. Thirty-somethings are a bit more supportive of the free-enterprise approach with 49% for capitalism and 26% for socialism. Adults over 40 strongly favor capitalism, and just 13% of those older Americans believe socialism is better.

Makes sense - fewer younger citizens are afraid of gays as well.

It is interesting to compare the new results to an earlier survey in which 70% of Americans prefer a free-market economy.

Socialist Propaganda to Benefit Librarians and the Libraries that Recruit Them | Healthy and Green Living

"As is evidenced by all the chin wagging and name calling that erupted at the tail end of the 2008 election season, people are still sufficiently alarmed by the specter of socialism. Pundits and everyday Joes sounded all sorts of Cassandra cries that we were walking backwards into a socialist state. But I assure you, if you want to find triumphant socialism at work in nearly every community in this great nation, you would be well advised to visit your local library."

How long shall we allow this gooey socialist crap to go on? Public libraries threaten the very fabric of our free market capitalist system and MUST be stopped.

Goodbye to rugged American individualism?

More than 44 million Americans lack health insurance, the highest number in any industrialized country, and another 38 million are under-insured.

In these bleak surroundings, European-style social safety nets look attractive even to rugged individualists, particularly those affected by the downturn. Even before the present crisis, polls showed growing support for government programs to help those in need. A 2007 Pew survey, for example, showed 69 percent supporting the notion that government should take care of people who can’t care for themselves.

Unfettered capitalism this is not. In the Internet debate prompted by Republican warnings of the impending Europeanization of America, one commentator asked: “Does this mean that the half million Americans losing their jobs each month can count on having health care, public transportation, quality education and a public safety net?”

It is our Government - Let's use it!
