As a conservative, I believe capitalism and individual effort are what made our America great. This article is a good way to explain this to young people who seem to believe socialism is a way to run an economy when it really is an authoritarian political system.

Many of them young cannot stand the four letter word WORK.

They’re used to doing nothing but setting on their behinds playing videos and knowing it all. They have no clue about real world experiences.

They never had the fear of being shipped off to war at age 18. They appreciate nothing because most never worked for anything. It’s really all come just to easy for them. They’re 26 years old living at home with their parents, on their parent’s healthcare insurance plan, studying sociology, and they have no real job experience.

The problem is they’re polling a generation whose idea of capitalism is PhRma bribing its way to mass-zombifying them with experimental chemical compounds. While that phenomenon is really Fascism or mafia rule, it’s gone under the name capitalism for so long it’s no surprise that that definition is sticking.

BS.

Big Money uses insider trading to keep profits and socialize losses.

Oops, do not teach your kids that.

“t’s unsettling to find yourself suddenly out of a job. We all prefer economic security to anxiety and uncertainty.

Unfortunately, that’s not how modern economies work. In our globally competitive world, most workers today will hold not just multiple positions over a lifetime, but also will work in multiple industries. And sometimes job skills don’t transfer easily.”

Some smart, left-leaning economists speak of “disruptive technologies” and the businesses that develop them. They never stop to consider what their own ideology has to say about ‘protection of job security” — which they constantly talk about at election time. The rest of the time these economists are in bed with the crony-capitalist investors who are shoving money at these businesses looking for huge returns.

Government is the biggest business in the US.

If you’ve got ambition, try to get a job working for them. If you don’t, just apply to them for freebies.

This is an over thought question. The young generation hate capitalism because: you ready for this? THEY ARE LAZY
