I may be only 30, but I still consider myself a part of that young adult crowd. I know, just call me Dina Lohan.

Anydesperatetobeayoungermodel, Rasmussen polled Americans about whether they believe capitalism or socialism to be better. (via HotAir) soulpatrolFor the answers among the young adult crowd, well, after reading this I was shocked. Then I remembered this was also a generation that was willing to vote for a candidate because of his American-Idol-style “inspiration” versus researching the guy’s actual voting record and history of  na-nah-nah-na-”I Won!”-partisanship. Who can be bothered with common sense, when you’re a part of the soul patrol – Woooohooo, Soul Patrol!

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…

33% PREFER Socialism?!?!??  Fucking. Embarrassing.

Honestly, do my fellow young adults even know what socialism is? Umm, no. And the reason I know this is because I see this stupidity on a daily basis on Facebook. How very 2009!  Anytrend, it’s a real shame these young voters do not understand that socialism is also the ideology of the world’s misunderstood humanitarians (rolls eyes) – the Nazi Party. And let’s not forget Soviet Russia – what, because these people didn’t live through it then it’s okay for them to have forgotten all about it. Umm, open up a history book, biyatches! I know people will argue that  Communism is not Socialism, but let’s be real the two are like kissing cousins – denying relations in public, but each other’s biggest fans when nobody’s looking.

obamabotIt’s like young adults in this country just see socialism as the teach-the-world-to-sing philosophy. Geez, that’s an ad campaign slogan, not a realistic solution to providing economic opportunity and growth. Cue quote from my dad when encountering the types of oblivious idiots – “What. A. Bunch. Of. Nerds!”

They don’t see the reality of reduced inefficiency in programs, massive tax burdens, lowered economic freedoms/opportunities and the lovely bread lines (aka liberls’ ready-to-mingle singles mixer hosted by President “Spread The Wealth” Obama). They are convinced (by the biased liberal media & fake news programs *cough*Daily Show *cough*) that socialism is a “togetherness, strong help the weak” policy. But in reality socialism is not everybody is united in wealth, and instead is all of us under a cloud of oppressive policies that keep more people in the poorhouse than under a capitalistic economy.

Hopefully these people will wake up and not wait until the massive tax burden, but I don’t know if their Hope ‘n Change, kool-aid stupors will be wearing off anytime soon.
