SOCIALISM Makes People Selfish
Prager University online ^ | July 18, 2016 | Dennis Prager/Prager University

Dennis Prager explains the moral differences between socialism and capitalism, and why anyone who wants a kind and generous society must support one and oppose the other.


TOPICS: History; Society
KEYWORDS: prager; prageru; prageruniversity; socialism
Promises of "More free stuff" is why you will see a full 40 percent of Americans vote for Hillary, even if she had to make her appearance at the DNC in chains and an orange pantsuit. We must educate ourselves and our children on the evils of socialism. Dennis hits the high points in a highly worthwhile few minutes.

I am waiting for the day when people no longer will accept US Government debt and will reject our fiat, unbacked currency. This and the Federal Reserve is how the nanny-state has grown in our country.

Imagine what our politics and society would be like if we had a currency out of the control of our government masters and elites? What would government look like then?

You’re right, it would collapse. QE3 is propping up the stock market while the economy is flat, and more people join the ranks of unemployed. If the dollar ever ceases to be the world’s reserve currency, we’re finished.

The selfish folks I know are all liberals.

I do know a few liberals who are not selfish - they are actually good folks, just brainwashed by the NPR/NYT/WaPo crap they listen to/read.

Yes, the really bad ones are the ones with no gratitude, as the video points out. I have noticed that many young people have no gratitude — instead they feel they are entitled to a good job, even if their degree is in ‘gender studies’ or some other impractical field.
