Millennials Say They'd Prefer Venezuela's Food Lines Over America's Income Inequality
2017-08-25
[Daily Wire] In a new video, Ami Horowitz hits the streets to find out what’s rattling around in the younger generation’s collective mind on the hot button millennial topics of income inequality and socialism -- particularly, the socialist utopia Venezuela, which is experiencing economic collapse, prompting crisis-level food shortages and the eruption of violence on the streets.

Horowitz ended up finding what anyone paying any attention to the Democratic presidential primary last year will not be surprised to learn: the generation which adores "Democratic socialist" Bernie Sanders hates income inequality so much that they’d be glad to stand in Venezuelan-style food lines so others could have as little as them.

Horowitz begins with the general question of "how important is income equality for you?"

"It’s extremely important," says one girl.

"Pretty important -- I work for the working families," says a guy with a beard and a bandana.

"100%. I think that it’s really important and something that has to be taken care of," says another young lady.

#14  Because when they think food line, they think rush hour at Panera.

#13  The folks that have never been hungry or gone without electricity to keep their phone charged have a distorted view of things.

Conservatives really should be pushing the Peace Corps for anyone that kind find a job, it's a lefty institution but spending time in third world nations would be a nice eye opener.

#12  We should deport them there. They can live in their paradise! Oh and revoke their citizenship. When they whine, tell them "Stupid is as Stupid does."

#10  They are quite welcome to turn their income over to the food bank of their choice. See, easy.

#9  There is plenty of open land in this country and getting 10-20 continuous sections or more is no great feat. They could easily do that and be as equal as they damned please.

But the thing about socialists is their first, their main priority is ALWAYS forcing other people to live as they say, and so infrequently do.

#8  They claim that Venezuela is fairer because everybody has to wait in line. Yeah, right. Like Maduro and his cronies have to wait in line.

#7  They say that, until they have to do it. Then they will whine and bitch on Twitter and instagram about it.

#6  When the USSR was extant, the Russians were not fond of food scarcities and long food lines.

#5  I lay this off on our Federally-directed indoctrination system (as opposed to education system).

#4  So how do you raise the productivity of those with cultural failure?

#3  "how important is income equality for you?"

I look forward to them following Saint Francis of Assisi by deed, not word.

#2  Oh, a heavily edited video supposedly shows what it's maker wants it to show.

#1  Horowitz's work simply proves what we've known for some time. Government public education and the liberal media continue to have a profound impact on young minds. Further confirmation may be found in eight years of the Soetoro regime.
