If you think socialism is the preferred economic and political view of a minority, a new Gallup poll shows it's growing in favor.
Capitalism, free enterprise, and especially big business are viewed less positively than they once were.
Democrats and younger people, but also a growing number of independents, are embracing socialism, according to the poll.
Why is socialism gaining in popularity in America? First, we no longer teach the superiority of capitalism in public schools and most universities.
Second, the media rarely report on socialism, at least not its negative effects on people and nations.
With the exception of Fox News, I've not seen many interviewed who have lived under socialism and its evil twin communism.
