Great video. It really helps explain why this younger generation is flirting with socialist utopian dreams, as the whole world is now turning into a Chinese sweatshop, except for the ruling class., who is only getting wealthier

I spent my entire adult life believing in trickle down economics, and maybe that did work in our more moralistic past, but in today’s society when sinful nature is not only accepted but in many cases glorified, the lesson seems to be take all you can get, for yourself, even if by hook or crook, and to hell with your fellow man.

Those with the power to change the rules, will certainly do so, in their favor. One of the greatest examples we have before us, is how several in the highest levels of our government, are now wanting to be paid huge sums of money ($230M in the case of the President, $500K for each Senator) directly to them, by the government, using levers of power they control.

So from the younger generations perspective, with slave labor staring them in the face, and what appears to be rampant abuse of the system by those in control, it’s easy to see why they are looking for a change. Socialism will only speed their demise into communism, of course, but they do at least appear to grasp the current downward trajectory we are currently on. Hopefully that energy for change will help usher in a new wave of more trustworthy politicians, who believe in capitalism, but with a focus on common Americans as a whole, and not just how they personally benefit from it. Maybe that’s a pipe dream, but minus that, it appears the next generation will be willing to give socialism a chance, unfortunately.
