Socialism doesn't scare them anymore

[SeaGal]

Young people are not happy with the unequal world they’ve inherited. Millennials are embracing Socialism because unfettered capitalism failed them. Many grew up in cars or tenement slums during the great recession when GW Bush's call for "deregulation" allowed financial institutions to peddle toxic mortgage packages to anyone with a pulse, and ratings institutions such as Standard and Poor's looked the other way. As the economy crashed, and things got worse, the right wing refused to agree lend even a small a hand to the many who suffered needlessly, while the few at the top became wealthier still.

Oh dear, if only the Obama administration had prosecuted and imprisoned the mean old Wall Street types peddling those toxic mortgages because Congress forced lending to folks who were bad credit risks. Why do you suppose Eric Holder (Obama's AG) didn't follow through on that?

So much, so wrong in your post.

1. We do not have and haven't had for a very long time 'unfettered' capitalism.
2. Young people have long been enamored by the 'promise' of socialism (see the 60's) then they grow up and realize that the promise never meets the reality.

Young people, along with women and minorities watched as the economy slowly healed over the next 8 years with President Obama at the helm, and witnessed 30 million Americans who previously had little or no healthcare benefits could now see a doctor without medical bankruptcy in the back of their minds. The right wing screamed SOCIALISM! of course, but they didn't care - They now had medical coverage. They also watched Donald Trump do everything in his power to strip them and their families of that protection, while offering nothing to replace it with except - "Go see your insurance man"

Sorry Republicans - Socialism doesn't scare them anymore...

Millennial interest in socialism has perfectly understandable roots reaching back to the defining catastrophe of the Great Recession.

Care to give an example of successful socialism ?

Hahahahah!!!!!!!..
Now there is some funny shit right there!!

No. Young people are not happy because success, here in our America, requires years of hard work, sacrifice and personal responsibility.

they look at successful people who sacrificed, worked hard, and took risks to become successful and think they are entitled to the same without making any effort.

How hard did people work and sacrifice for this?

Over 43,000 US millionaires to get ‘stimulus’ averaging $1.6 million each, committee finds

When a country actually practices capitalism then we can discuss what people think about it.

We have never had "unfettered capitalism"

And these idiot millennials think they deserve a much higher pay than their skills warrant.

Let's see how they like giving the lion's share of their pay to the fucking government to pay for all the shit they think will be free

That's exactly it. Success should come knocking at your door because you went to college for two years.

How is it people from other countries can come here, barely knowing the language, with a hundred bucks in their pocket, and eventually own their own business, some even very successful? If you are born here, you are ten steps ahead of the game to all others in the world.

Trumps covid bail outs place the US as a socialist democracy. Handouts for farmers, handouts for large corporations. Handouts for those affected by the crisis. The detail might need tweeking but the principle is socialism. Now you need to sort out your crazy healthcare.

You don't know what socialism is, Trump's bail outs came from captalism .

I think you will find most who hate wealthy people are those who never invested a dime of their hard earned money, thus creating the jealousy of those who did. Yes, they may have an IRA from work, or perhaps a house, but not risking their money to create more money of their own.

How do you understand capitalism when you never invested capital to begin with?

But the article doesn't say where these funds come from.

And S corporations and LLCs are pass through entities and most of the people who own them are not millionaires so why do you want these small businesses to not get some benefit for once?

And really having a million dollar net worth, which is the definition of a millionaire, is meaningless to most small business owners because the vast majority of that net worth is tied up in their businesses and these small business owners usually make less than 100K a year

My wife's business could be sold today for 1.6 million. That doesn't mean she's sitting on 1.6 million in cash.

My rental properties are where most of my net worth is concentrated but again that doesn't mean I'm sitting on a million in cash.

And a huge reliance on the Socialist actions of the Federal Reserve.

Who benefits from these socialist actions by the government and the Fed? It sure appears that the extreme wealthy are the main beneficiaries.

They absolutely are. And they sit around and laugh at those struggling believing they actually have a shot in our fake "capitalistic" system.

Yes. Many Americans want to cling to the belief we all can make it big. Just work hard and bingo, you’re rich in America. They can’t bring themselves around to accept what their eyes are telling them. The elites love this foolish people.

Nobody believes that. People understand that capitalism is much more than working hard. It's a matter of taking your money and investing in it, thus creating your own income.

In many instances, people fail, but in the process, learn things. You can work as hard as you desire, but if you are blue collar, you'll never get rich working for somebody else. It's a well known factor.

My favorite economist, and former fill-in host on the Rush Limbaugh show, Dr. Walter E Williams said many times, that when he was teaching college, he would be asked by one or more students "Dr. Williams, what is the secrete to financial success?" To that, Williams always responded that the key to success is pleasing your fellow man.

If you make a good hamburger, you please your fellow man by a few, be it feeding your family or friends. If you take your delicious hamburger, and open your own restaurant, you will please your fellow man by the thousands. If you decide to franchise your restaurant, you will please your fellow man by the millions, and financial success grows equally.

I suspect you’re one of those under the misapprehension that our crony capitalist system (really Fascism) works for the vast majority of Americans, if only they would learn to invest and please their fellow man.

The billionaires laugh at people like you.

You know where it is coming from. The same place those getting 1.6 million complain about when a single mother of three gets $400 in food stamps.

No one is getting 1.6 million.

Most of that is going to be from tax credits for keeping people an payroll instead of laying them off.

But I suppose you'd rather see businesses lay people off so that none of those greedy small business owners get any tax relief
