Surge Summary: A free-market economic system is the most productive and efficient one available. History and experience demonstrate this truth – but too many of today’s irresponsible adults neglect to pass along this information to the next generation, catering to youthful desires to have others take care of them and pay their way.

Per a recent Leftist article from Yahoo!Finance, Leftism has gained appreciable control in Western societies and has inhibited economic growth and social prosperity in most countries.
Only the American model based on competitive, free market Capitalism has continued to drive economic growth, wealth creation, and individual prosperity. Socialistic Europe and other socialistic areas have been relatively stagnant for decades.
Yet, Leftism has gained some influence in the USA via its control of America’s educational system, the mainstream media, the Democrat Party, and socialistic (welfare state) values. Only the American Constitution, Bill-of-Rights and related legal system, and conservative philosophy – have kept America’s growth-economy free from socialistic inhibitions.
Unfortunately, for several decades our children have NOT been educated about – the American Way – our competitive free enterprise, Capitalistic system – USA’s Constitutional protection — and American Liberty via our Judeo-Christian Philosophy of life.
Children’s are used to having their parents pick-up-the-tab for their well-being and education. So we shouldn’t be surprised that they begin looking for the federal government to pick-up-the-tab during the subsequent phases of their lives. Why work to make ends meet when your parents and, later, the Feds will flip-the-bill?
The fact that the federal government is already running huge deficits seems irrelevant to our youngsters. Reality hasn’t set in yet. And irresponsible politicians, like Bernie Sanders, keep playing the same everything-for-nothing Socialistic tune.
Unfortunately, our educational system has bred Socialism into the heads of our school children without spelling out the negative consequences. Any honest study of economic history will confirm the assured pitfalls of Socialism and/or Communism.
