#1 Since they haven't taught the true differences between Capitalism and Socialism since the late 60's in public schools, and Socialism is actively promoted in most University systems, this is no surprise.

#6 Adults under 30 are essentially evenly divided: 37% prefer capitalism, 33% socialism, and 30% are undecided.

In other words, over 60% of those surveyed believe they dont or never will have a skin in the game. The good news is fear and self-interest has an ironic way of changing those beliefs

#7 This is a result of uncontrolled immigration, a school system that is rotten to the core and the MSM's left leaning tendencies.
