@Sabartio The communists have enjoyed a resurgence, but they're still a tiny minority of people in the U.S., always have been. And, as the other person replied with, most boomers have expansion of government programs on their mind when referring to socialism/communism. In any case, they should be a wake-up call for any die-hard capitalists, because the system we've been told to have faith in for 40+ years has been failing, and the failures have reached a critical mass. Laissez-faire capitalism isn't the way to go- too many people are lacking basic services for it to have 'worked'.

@timothybennett0313 I think you're saying, "if we had a higher minimum wage, companies would raise the price of goods and living." In the rest of the developed world, this problem doesn't exist to such a severe degree. Ordinary people make more, those at the top make less than in America. No one has to raise prices- but CEOs are insistent that they keep their offshore tax money and ridiculous salaries. If they weren't so greedy and didn't lobby to render our government toothless and ineffectual, we wouldn't have these problems.
