WILLIAMS: Young People Ignorant Of History

Via Billy

 Symbols of communism: the hand wielding the hammer and sickle, in the background the rising sun and the red star ***Long live the fifth anniversary of the Great Proletarian Revolution!***. Color lithograph. Digital optimization from detail of a Ivan Simakov 1922 poster. Italy, Milan 2016.

A recent survey conducted by the Victims of Communism and polled by YouGov, a research and data firm, found that 70% of millennials are likely to vote socialist and that one in three millennials saw communism as “favorable.”

Let examine this tragic vision in light of the Fraser Institute’s recently released annual study “Economic Freedom of the World,” prepared by Professors James Gwartney, Florida State University; Robert A. Lawson and Ryan Murphy of Southern Methodist University; and Joshua Hall, West Virginia University, in cooperation with the Economic Freedom Network.

    Gas prices here in North Central AZ are back up to $3.01/gal. WHY? California is at least a dollar higher. That is more than a dollar per quart, or liter. I'm not sure if it was just the higher prices at the pump in Iran. Maybe, it is an awakening to the slow smothering cloak of government creeping up on them like in California.
