The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality

Writes Randy R. Davila: "I have come to the conclusion that my generation has lost complete hope for free market capitalism. I'm 20 years old and I have friends from 30 years to 18 years old, and not but one, maybe two has agreed in the power of free markets. This, I believe, is in direct response to public schools. For as long as I can remember, my teachers in high school praised centralized government - socialism, I even had a two teachers who believed in communism. Communism! They would defend it saying that the Russians didn't do it right, the U.S. could make it work. Oh and FDR, the greatest president ever in their minds. I honestly think that in my entire schooling that not one teacher talked negatively of FDR. The New Deal apparently was god's gift to the U.S. And I think it's just getting worse, our public schools are raising generations of socialist. Does capitalism stand a chance? Oh, and I credit Professor Christopher Scott for helping straighten me out. See his blog."
