Since our children are not being taught the basics of true economics by their Teacher's Utopian ideals, I suggest we develop an "Economics for Mis-informed Dummies".
There once was a TV education program called, "School House Rock". It was simplistic in its presentation with animation and music. It presented the basics of our governmental system that anyone could understand. I suggest we develop and build such a program so it reaches from grammar school to high school. This is something that Fox News (O'Rielly or Tucker Carlson) could use as a educational segment. What say you?

You folks want to get to the root of the problem? Here it is. If you've ever watched Water's World or Jay-Walking, you understand how ill-informed our students and others of same age are. The debate between World building free enterprise and Socialist nation destroying has come to a head.

With all the wisdom and connections on this board, we can start promoting the benefits of free enterprise vs socialism. We can also use such a vehicle to promote integrity, self-accountability, work ethic, internal self-esteem, and other values that have made America the envy of the World. I would suggest we stay away from religion for now.

Democrats love socialism. Ami Horowitz goes to Venezuela to find out how well Socialism is working out for people there.

My children just love the “Rush Revere” books that Rush Limbaugh is putting out. They have challenged a teacher or two with the information they learned from his books. Better yet, the teachers have asked where they got their information and have been supportive of their ‘self-learning’.

SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State forces you to give one to your neighbor.

COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you some milk.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, promises more free cows, lets you vote and gives you sour milk.

FASCISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk.

NAZISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and shoots your wife and kids.

BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away.

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.

CONTEMPORARY WALL STREETISM
You have two cows.
You sell one, bundle the other with a goat, a mule,
and two dry cows.
You pile into the derivatives market, buy a Gulfstream
and when it all comes down around your ears...
You go to the government for a bailout.

Dear Moderators, any chance you can put this in Activism? This is call for activism, and not just a vanity.
