As the 60s radicals die out, the campus will become less and less radical leftist.

Even Gen-xers who start on the radical left, seem more likely to drift to the right as they get more experience. By the time the radical leftists realize what's happened, there will be a core of tenured gen-X moderates, conservatives, libertarians, and the like.

...and pay more of their hard-earned money in taxes. When it comes down to a battle between one's wallet and one's ideology, the wallet will win.

And this is really what the radical left is afraid of. No doubt they'll accuse their students of "selling out" when the reality is that, the students have to make a living and pay off their student loans when they get out of school. And who hires them? Those evil corporations.
