Fox Poll: Capitalism destroys Socialism

"I want your pudding"

According to a recent Fox News poll of registered voters, capitalism is significantly more popular than socialism. The poll also finds economic optimism high, and the number wanting the government to be their mommy is the lowest in years.

The new poll, released Wednesday, asks what message voters want to send to the federal government. Over half would say “leave me alone.” About a third would ask the government to “lend me a hand.”

The 34 percent saying “lend me a hand” is down from 41 percent last year and 39 percent in 2016. This may be due to people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez displaying such a breathtakingly stupid stance on the economy that voters have come to terms with the evils of communism and socialism.

The 55 percent who would tell the government “leave me alone” is up from 51 percent in 2018 and 54 percent in 2016, proving that people can grow up after all.

Fifty-seven percent of voters have a positive opinion of the free market, because it works. That’s more than twice the number of envious folks who feel the same about socialism (25 percent). Some of the groups most likely to have a favorable view of socialism include self-identified liberals (50 percent), Clinton voters (43 percent), and those under age 30 (36 percent) who want the government to give them free stuff off the labor of others.

“Despite the prominence of socialistic ideas and policy proposals in recent weeks, Americans are favorable toward the merits of the capitalistic system,” says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News Poll with Democrat Chris Anderson. “And they’re bullish on the state of the economy.”

Nearly four out of five voters feel their family either achieved the American Dream (38 percent), or is on the way toward achieving it (40 percent). One in five believes the dream is out of reach (18 percent) because their level of self-confidence is in the toilet and that's how they see their future unless they can get someone else to pay their way.

Sixty-three percent feel optimistic about the economy. Optimism stood at 49 percent in 2016, but somehow, that isn't Trump's doing, according to the left.

By a 47-42 percent margin, voters think capitalism in the U.S. gives them a “fair shot.”

However, men (58 percent) are 21 points more likely than women (37 percent) to say capitalism is a level playing field. This may be due to the growth of far-left men who identify as women or far-left women who believe it's up to the rich to take care of them.

Similarly, whites (52 percent) are 19 points more likely than nonwhites (33 percent), and voters ages 45 and over (54 percent) are 17 points more inclined than those with "Daddy Issues" under age 45 (37 percent) to feel they are getting a fair deal.

For more, go to the Fox News poll and draw your own conclusions about the influence of socialism in the country and how people are beginning to realize that working for their own life and that of their own family is more moral than asking someone else to pay for it.

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
