GOOD NEWS: Poll finds support for capitalism is twice as high as socialism

The rumors of capitalism’s death have been greatly exaggerated.

For the last few years, the polls have found increasing support for socialism and growing disapproval for capitalism (SEE: Study: Half of U.S. millennials want to live under socialism, 18% say Karl Marx is their ‘hero’). This has led many to believe that capitalism is dying a slow death as future generations take control and embrace an ideology of envy, greed, deprivation, and death.

But it seems that we’re not quite there … yet.

According to a new Fox News poll, Americans have an overall positive view of capitalism, and it certainly beats approval for socialism.

The survey discovered that 57 percent of U.S. voters hold a positive opinion of capitalism, which is more than double than the support for socialism (25 percent).

The same poll also found that only 34 percent support saying “lend me a hand,” down from 41 percent in 2018. Meanwhile, more than half (55 percent) support the saying “leave me alone,” up from 51 percent.

That’s good news!
