OPINION — It has surprised me to hear how many young Americans believe in socialism/communism, even after so many communist nations have failed, in front of our eyes, over the years.
Have teachers neglected to share the real history of these failed states? There are many examples of proud Americans, who were brought up under communism, arrived with nothing, worked hard and achieved the American Dream. The American Dream is available to all, not just those who start with a war chest.
Too many educated community organizers, who haven’t held a real job, often financed by the parents into their thirties, resent those who have made it. Sadly, they appear to hate this unique country, now seek political office and find support from voters who expect the government funding to be the answer for all their needs.
