The Death of America-- Only 53% of US Say Capitalism Beats Socialism

From Gateway:

So Long USA... Hello USSA

Rejoice comrades!
Congratulations to the liberal media, Hollywood, our fine liberal educational institutions, Democrats, and Commie lovers everywhere!

(Colorado Right)
The glorious day you have been waiting for is near.
Only 53% of American adults believe capitalism is better than socialism.
This is despite recent warnings from Russia and China.
Rasmussen reported: 

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 20% disagree and say socialism is better. Twenty-seven percent (27%) are not sure which is better. 

Adults under 30 are essentially evenly divided: 37% prefer capitalism, 33% socialism, and 30% are undecided. Thirty-somethings are a bit more supportive of the free-enterprise approach with 49% for capitalism and 26% for socialism. Adults over 40 strongly favor capitalism, and just 13% of those older Americans believe socialism is better. 

There is a partisan gap as well. Republicans - by an 11-to-1 margin - favor capitalism. Democrats are much more closely divided: Just 39% say capitalism is better while 30% prefer socialism. As for those not affiliated with either major political party, 48% say capitalism is best, and 21% opt for socialism.
Of course, only 1 in 3 democrats believe in capitalism.
That's a shock.

This is truly terrifying.

And a sad comment on America.

Like Epa keeps saying "This used to be a helluva country"

midnight rider,

I find it terrifying as well. People really need to be taught better economics, in this country, so they don't always blame private enterprise. But even that won't be enough, since belief in socialism tends to be based on desire.

Stop saying America is dead, damnit. Stop giving that much power to the stinking piles of crap who want to make that statement true. America is in deep trouble, no doubt, but she is not dead, not even close. I'm mighty glad that Washington didn't stand on the shore and say , "well, guys its been a hell of a run, but, America is dead, we might as well go home"
America will never die--we just have to keep fighting for her, damnit!

Hey Mary I was wonderin' if you'd forgotten about us.

The America our Fathers knew is on heavy duty life support and we're the ones pumpin' the bag.

We're standing on the shore but there's a helluva rip current goin' on with some unbelievable coastal erosion.

America better wake up real quick.
