Scary Poll Of The Day


Sorry about no links today, I've been battling a cold and have been swamped with work.

However, here is an interesting poll released by Rasmussen today which shows that only 53% of American adults said that capitalism is preferable to socialism. Even more scary is that of those under 30, it is pretty much even with 37% preferring capitalism and 33% preferring socialism.

In another poll, 66% believe that their vote really matters. Of those responding, o% voted in GW's SA election.

you do know this is in part because the average american has no clue what socialism is. Republicans have been decrying the democrats' approach to economics for decades as socialism, and shockingly when republican style economics fall out of style the less educated people switch their beliefs to democrat/socialist.

Socialism is based on the belief that high school was so much fun we should just stay under a government agent's thumb for our entire lives.

The Patriot accepts anonymous comments [unlike the draconian editors at the Hatchet]. However, we strongly prefer that you USE A NAME. Mostly it's because we don't take anonymous comments seriously, but it's also because we hate bullshit. Have a nice day.

 

Smart. Witty. Irreverent.
