RUSH: Here\u2019s Elizabeth in Columbus, Ohio, as we start on the phones.\u00a0 Glad you called.\u00a0 It\u2019s great to have you with us.\u00a0 Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Hey, thanks, Rush.\u00a0 I actually wanted to comment on your statistic about the Millennials supporting socialism<\/a> and offer the opinion that I believe it\u2019s because the bulk of them were in college or graduating at the market crash of 2007 and \u201908 and they incorrectly conflated capitalism with the feeling they had of paying into the system through going to college, and then their reward of the high-paying job wasn\u2019t there.\u00a0 And really the problem was not capitalism but the abuses of the capitalist system. But the knee-jerk reaction by Millennials was to turn to the opposite extreme of socialism — which is funny, because if you want a system where you pay your dues and don\u2019t get anything in return, socialism is that, in a nutshell.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 I don\u2019t think the socialism allure is as much economic as it is social with Millennials.\u00a0 I think you have a point.\u00a0 I think college age people at the time of the so-called financial crisis in 2008 might have been affected by that.\u00a0 But they still had to be told by somebody, “This is happening capitalism\u2019s unfair, because capitalism sucks, because capitalism,” blah, blah.\u00a0 You cannot eliminate the role education is playing.\u00a0 You cannot eliminate the role that economics professors are playing in this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well —<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: There has to be a foundation built for stuff like this for — when the economic crisis of 2008 happens — it to be plugged into the foundation and have it take.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Well, and I… You know, as far as the economics being taught in college, I would agree that it is oversimplified and not based in our current world economic system.\u00a0 But then when all the news about the crash came around, things we heard over and over were, “Bank bailouts” and “government bailouts,” and, you know, we kept hearing, “Where\u2019s the bailout for Main Street?”<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Well, and you know what?\u00a0 They had a point!\u00a0 That right there, what you just described was the Washington establishment — the New York-Washington-Boston corridor — looking out for itself.\u00a0 It\u2019s the same people trying to railroad Donald Trump, the same exact people.\u00a0 I\u2019m glad you called, Elizabeth.\u00a0 I appreciate that.\u00a0 I must go because I literally have no more time.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, one of the things about Millennials and socialism and communism and so forth, is there\u2019s all kinds of reasons for it. But do not discount the idea that it is (sniveling), “More fair, and there are no losers and there\u2019s no hurt feelings and nobody laughs at anybody.” I\u2019m not making this up. And if you talk to certain Millennials, they\u2019ll get empathetic with it. They\u2019ll say, “Well, there\u2019s no better system for caring for the poor.” Now… (chuckles) The problem is that everybody ends up poor! Most everybody has very little in socialism. But whatever they have, it\u2019s spread equally around.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We have a lot of people that want to continue the discussion, people on hold here who want to talk about Millennials embracing socialism and communism, which is great. I think it\u2019s long overdue that this be addressed.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m gonna get myself in a lot of trouble here, but as I was saying during my conversation with my brother, communism never had a chance in our house. Socialism never had a chance. Our family, our parents would not dare let it take hold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
