18-to-29-year-olds were more than three times more likely (49 percent to 13 percent) to endorse socialism than those older than 65.

Proving what Winston Churchill said, "Any man who is not a socialist at age 20 has no heart. Any man who is still a socialist at age 40 has no head."

I’ve met lots of them. Supposedly well-educated college graduates who praise the European model. When you press them, they just say the government “should” pay for my health care, “should” pay for my college, and so forth. Ask them where the government will get the money and they’ll say the government has plenty of money or can just print more. Despite the college education, they are completely ignorant of the basic principles of economics.

I suggest that parents give less money to their college-age/voting-age children and tell them that they have to cut back because their taxes are going up, and that the liberals in academia are raising tuition costs.

The more non-whites you have, the more socialism you’re going to get. I imagine the non-white percentage of young people is way higher than the non-white percentage of old people.
