Sadly I can attest to the fact that the youth of this generation believe (thanks to their tax payer funded education, and the support of the media) that socialism is the only workable solution. They are taught that previous attempts failed because evil capitalists undermined it and doomed it to failure...

I saw a bumper sticker that said "I shall fight socialism till hell freezes over! Then I shall fight on ice!" Just about sums it up for me...
