For many, this is what they want in the whole economy. They just want everything for free, paid for by someone else.
No, not really. These children refuse to grow up and have NEVER had to truly want for anything and outside of all of the indoctrination, THAT is the problem. Oh....and their idiot parents too.

That is because Mommy and Daddy have provided for them and sheltered them from the cold, harsh realities of life. Once they have a real job and see how much ‘free’ programs cost them in taxes, these little snowflakes wise up and grow up really quickly.
Right you are and at least WE raised our kiddos right and then they do the same with our Grands. :-)
“They don’t reject Capitalism, the reject having to work for all those goodies they endlessly crave.”
Once more of this 18-30 generation starts to work, they’ll start to change. The late 1960s scum that went full retard with the corruption of this country are dying off. This election is more than likely a dying belch of that ridiculous era. I am *not* saying that liberalism is dead ... but the true believers with the brains to run their little show are all going to be dropping dead very soon.
The Dem’s minor leagues are a joke ... the baby boomers of the liberal persuasion wanted all the power and glory ... they didn’t share anything of substance with the younger political drones. They’re stuck with mopping up fads like homosexual liberation theory, race exploitation, and how to start a war on women. Those things die out as there is no truth what so ever to those causes.
I’m certainly alarmed reading those statistics, but they’re not static nor are they set in stone. If we give a couple million of those kids the opportunity to earn a living and get a taste of what makes America great, those numbers shift faster than a liberal running from a shower :-).
Of course, if pig in a pantsuit wins this thing this fall, then we’ve got a problem ... but let’s not think like that! :-).
I see that academia has done their job well.
One of the giant mistakes conservatism has made since 1980 us to allow the principles of free enterprise to be improperly conflated with the short-term interests of multi-national corporations. “Capitalism” now means collusion with government and corruption to young people, who in turn mistakenly support “anti-capitalist” politicians who love to pass legislation that smashes Joe’s Flower Shop in the mouth and ignores JP Morgan or Monsanto.
They also reject God, work, personal responsibility for their actions, truth, reason, reality, you-name-it. Of course they reject capitalism. Capitalism requires a person to get their a$$ out of bed, show up for work, perform to certain requirements, etc. Where’s the surprise?
Wait till they get years of work under their belts, and see others want to grab the fruits of their labor.
I came across this on u-toob and it seems to fit pretty well with what you said...(enjoy!)

They d been brainwashed and their adolescense has been allowed to be extended to almost 30, so it’s not surprising. This is also why I think voting age should be 21 minimum.
Schools have been marxist indoctrination centers for fourth years or so. When we tried to awaken people to the situation we were mocked, derided, and told we wore tin foil hats. Not so funny now is it? And this is only one of many axis of attack used by marxists. And they are winning. Guess us tin foil hat folks were right. Sad no one listened.
Yes, it would seem they’ve had a modicum of success in their striving to create the “New Soviet Man”.
CA....
are they all welfare recipients? Or do they capitalistically collect a paycheck that they earn? Do they wish they didn’t collect a paycheck or something? Work for Free perhaps?
Probably the same half that couldn’t describe to you what capitalism is even if their life depended on it. The country is really loaded down with boneheads who have never received a real education. They spent 12 to 16 years being programmed by America-hating, commie lib DemocRATS.
Now, and for the past several decades they have morphed into and now identify themselves as "progressives," a term which, in itself is misleading. The so-called "progressive" philosophy is, in fact, regressive, for it advocates failed ideas which lead to tyranny and oppression, not to freedom, opportunity, productivity, and plenty. "Progressive" ideas are more aptly described by the word "socialist."
In the following quotations from Churchill, we can see thoughts of his on the subject dating from 1908 to the 1950's. Much of what is happening in America today is described within these words:
"When I see the present Socialist Government denouncing capitalism in all its forms, mocking with derision and contempt the tremendous free enterprise capitalist system on which the mighty production of the United States is founded, I cannot help feeling that as a nation we are not acting honorably or even honestly." - Winston Churchill, Woodford Green, July 10, 1948."We shall not allow the advance of society and economic well-being of the nation to be regulated and curtailed by the pace of the weakest bretheren among us. Proper incentives must be offered and full freedom given to the strong to use their strength in the commonweal. Initiative, enterprise, thrift, domestic foresight, contrivance, good housekeeping and natural ability must reap their just reward. On any other plan the population of this island will sink by disastrous and agonizing stages to a far lower standard of life and two-thirds of its present numbers." - Winston Churchill, speech, Blenheim Palace, August 4, 1947.
"The difference between what is seen and what is not seen was often noticed by the old economists. What is not seen is the infinite variety of individual transactions and decisions which, in a civilized society, within the framework of just and well-known laws, insure the advantage not only of the individual concerned, but of the community, and provide that general body of well-being constituting the wealth of nations. All this is blotted out by an over-riding State control, however imposing some of its manifestations may be. It is the vital creative impulse that that I deeply fear the doctrines and policy of the socialist Government have destroyed, or are rapidly destroying, in our national life. Nothing that they can plan and order and rush around enforcing will take its place. They have broken the mainspring, and until we get a new one the watch will not go." - Winston Churchill, speech, House of Commons, October 28, 1947.
"It is in the interest of the wage-earner to have many other alternatives open to him than service under one all-powerful employer called the State. He will be in a better position to bargain collectively and production will be more abundant; there will be more for all and more freedom for all when the wage earner is able, in the large majority of cases, to choose and change his work, and deal with a private employer who, like himself, is subject to the ordinary pressures of life and, like himself, is dependent upon his personal thrift, ingenuity and good-housekeeping." - Winston Churchill, speech, Blackpool, October 5, 1946
"Liberalism (classical liberalism) has its own history and its own tradition. Socialism has its own formulas and aims. Socialism seeks to pull down wealth; Liberalism seeks to raise up poverty. Socialism would destroy private interests; Liberalism would preserve private interests in the only way in which they can be safely and justly preserved, namely, by reconciling them with public right. Socialism would kill enterprise; Liberalism would rescue enterprise from the trammels of privilege and preference. Socialism assails the pre-eminence of the individual; Liberalism seeks, and shall seek more in the future, to build up a minimum standard for the mass. Socialism exalts the rule; Liberalism exalts the man. Socialism attacks capital; Liberalism attacks monopoly." - Winston Churchill, Kinnaird Hall, Dundee, May 14, 1908.
"The British nation now has to make one of the most momentous choices in its history. That choice is between two ways of life: between individual liberty and State domination: between concentration of ownership in the hands of the State and the extension of a property-owning democracy; between a policy of increasing restraint and a policy of liberating energy and ingenuity: between a policy of levelling down and a policy of finding opportunities for all to rise upwards from a basic standard." - Winston Churchill, speech in Woodford, England, January 28, 1950.
"It is curious that, while in the days of my youth I was much reproached with inconsistency and being changeable, I am now scolded for adhering to the same views I had early in life and even of repeating passages from speeches which I made long before most of you were born. Of course the world moves on and we dwell in a constantly changing climate of opinion. But the broad principles and truths of wise and sane political actions do not necessarily alter with the changing moods of a democratic electorate. Not everything changes. Two and two still make four, and I could give you many other instances which go to prove that all wisdom is not new wisdom." - Winston Churchill, speech, Bele vue, Manchester, December 6, 1947.
"It is not Parliament that should rule; it is the people who should rule through Parliament." - Winston Churchill, speech, House of Commons. November 11, 1947.
"We have to combat the wolf of socialism, and we shall be able to do it far more effectively as a pack of hounds than as a flock of sheep." - Winston Churchill, speech, 1937.
"Although it is now put forward in the main by people who have a good grounding in the Liberalism and Radicalism of the early part of this century, there can be no doubt that Socialism is inseparably interwoven with Totalitarianism and the abject worship of the State. It is not alone that property, in all its forms, is struck at, but that liberty, in all its forms, is challenged by the fundamental conceptions of Socialism." - Winston Churchill, B.B.C radio address, June 4, 1945.
"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent vice of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries." - Winston Churchill, House of Commons, October 22, 1945.
"Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy." - Winston Churchill, Perth, May 28, 1948.
"I do not wonder that British youth is in revolt against the morbid doctrine that nothing matters but the equal sharing of miseries: that what used to be called the submerged tenth can only be rescued by bringing the other nine-tenths down to their level; against the folly that it is better that everyone should have half rations rather than that any by their exertions, or ability, should earn a second helping." - Winston Churchill, London, June 22, 1948.
"Socialism is based on the idea of an all-powerful State which owns everything, which plans everything, which distributes everything, and thus through its politicians and officials decides the daily life of the individual citizen." - Winston Churchill, London, January 21, 1950.
"The British and Americans do not war with races or governments as such. Tyranny, external or internal, is our foe whatever trappings and disguises it wears, whatever language it speaks, or perverts." - Winston Churchill, Speech, Dorchester Hotel, London, July 4, 1953.
"You may try to destroy wealth, and find that all you have done is to increase poverty." - Winston Churchill, speech, House of Commons. March 12, 1947.
"Nor should it be supposed as you would imagine, to read some of the Left-wing newspaper, that all Americans are multi-millionaires of Wall Street. If they were all multi-millionaires that would be no reason for condemning a system which has produced such material results.: - Winston Churchill, speech, Royal Albert Hall, London. April 21, 1948.
"Rich men, although valuable to the revenue, are not vital to a healthy state of society, but a society in which rich men are got rid of, from motives of jealousy, is not a healthy state." - Winston Churchill, speech, House of Commons, April 24, 1950.
God Almighty. No system has done more to advance the situation of the common man than capitalism. Flight, light, might. What’s bad? Some have more than others? So. Switch to socialism or Communism dumbassesses. Stand in line for soup while the “leaders” live like kings. Makes me sick.
This.
It is doubtful half could tell you how capitalism works.
Pray America wakes
