It is curious to me that so many people support socialism given that it has failed everywhere it has been tried. (I realize that leftists or statists or whatever they call themselves in the USA do not admit that they are socialists, but they are because what they want is socialism.) One thing I have noticed about leftists, including Obama, is that they think that life is a zero-sum game. They think that if a person does well economically, it is at the expense of other persons. People like Obama and Hillary Clinton have enormous egos that enable them to think they can succeed at implementing a system that has always failed.

Here is an article by a Russian that discusses the difference in life under capitalism and socialism. She asks a good question: why are the youth of America embracing socialism. I think the answer lies in our public education system, which has been taken over by 1960’s style communists like Obama’s buddy and ghost writer, Bill Ayers
