Are Americans critical of capitalism? A new global comparison reveals they’re not. A survey on attitudes toward capitalism in 33 countries shows Poland is the most pro-capitalist country, with the USA in second place.
It’s no wonder Poland ranked in the number one position because Poland was one of the poorest countries in Europe in its socialist time, even poorer than Ukraine. The GDP per capita was half of the Czech Republic, and the standard of living in Poland has dramatically increased due to capitalism.
The United States came number two. We often hear people in the United States today are against capitalism, but this is not true. Of course, there are a lot of anti-capitalists, but it’s not the majority of the population.
However, there is a vast difference between older and younger Americans. Older Americans over 60 are pro-entrepreneurship, pro-free market, and pro-capitalism. Younger Americans under 30 are much more critical; some are very negative toward capitalism.
The job at hand is to demonstrate and make it clear to young people why capitalism is a better system than socialism. Listen and share this interview and the documentary Life Behind the Berlin Wall to clarify how capitalism can generate a tide that lifts all boats.

And I’m still one to say that this is a biological weapon being used by China and Fauci both together. I believe it hadn’t been completely developed and finished yet, but whether it was released on purpose or not, I have no idea. But once it was, yes, they weaponized it fully.
Over the last year and a half, this country has gone from an incredible economy with an incredibly successful President to that of a living hell. Our country has been destroyed, and the tool the left has used is covid.
Andy asked John what has surprised him the most over the last year and a half.
John’s response, “How willing, especially young people, have been to just give it all up if you would. I mean, they are so worried about being safe. They’re willing to lock themselves in a closet and hand the government the key almost to that extent and say, Please protect me. … I’m shocked at how young people, especially young families, even have been so willing to give up their freedom.”
Andy replied, “Okay, let me jump in on that because we are seeing with young people who are at no risk, virtually no risk unless you are immune deficient. Okay, young people are at no risk whatsoever. They’re the first to wear masks. They are the first to turn people in. They are the first to complain. They’re the first [ to get] vaccinations. Whatever they can do. As you said, they’re complete sheep. So here’s my question, “Have you ever seen a more vibrant example of the absolute control that education and entertainment have over our kids?”
John, “No, this is it. You are literally programming. You are literally programming tens of millions of safe people to act in terror.
Andy, “And you know me. I was brought up by the academic left. I know how they control young people. I know how they do it. I even have been shocked.”
In a rush to destroy our history, we often overlook the brilliant men who crafted our Declaration of Independence in 1776 with logic and reason rather than emotion and anger.
In 1787, all focus was on future generations, with a brand-new document, The United States Constitution. It is now the longest active governing document globally. When the Founding Fathers wrote this, they recognized they didn’t give us a perfect government but hoped the people would continue to “form a more perfect union.” The Constitution is not a breathing document that follows changes in human development but is a solid foundation constraining the worst tendencies of humans to enslave people through government. Even more so today, the relevancy of their thoughts and writings confirms the immutable agelessness of human nature and the brilliance contained in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
May God Shed His Grace on Thee
Wisdom
God did align the stars to give us 56 white men to represent all Americans. Our Founding Fathers gambled with “their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” but felt it was worth it to create a unique place on earth where men governed themselves and individual liberty was the order of the day. They were brilliant because they recognized man’s imperfection, and they included themselves. Our Founding Fathers correctly understood the inherent nature of humans.
Having a distrust of government they realized its tendency to evolve into a bureaucratic master if citizens surrendered their independence. They understood that political and economic freedoms are the twin freedoms and that they are inextricably intertwined. We either preserve both or lose both; preservation is our responsibility. If we fail to stand up to the forces intent on subjugating all people to the rule of man instead of the rule of law, we will enter darkness long before we take our last breath.
In the book, The Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence by B. J. Lossing, he writes about how nine died fighting or from hardship, twelve had their homes pillaged and destroyed by the British, five were captured and tortured before dying, two lost sons, another had two sons captured, and others lost wives and fortunes. They risked it all and paid dearly for our liberties.
We Have a Choice
Every day and in every action, we make choices contributing to our future freedom or eventually subjection. If we honor our founders and predecessors, we’ll breathe our last breath as a free person, confident we repaid the favor given to us. It is up to each of us to contribute to the freedom of future generations rather than squander our inheritance.
