All those American young people who say they favor socialism don’t really want socialism, a type of socio-economic system that fosters poverty, murder, and ultimately totalitarianism. All they really want is other people’s stuff, at no cost to themselves: all the fruits of the rivalrous market system with none of the personal sacrifice and creative effort invested in making that system work so productively.

How rich it is that these socialists – each a monument to rank greed – call “greedy” the entrepreneurs and business owners whose efforts produce the riches that these socialists seek to confiscate?
