Many young Americans have been taught to believe that their frustration with housing, low real wage progress, weak savings returns, and declining upward mobility proves that capitalism has failed. However, the evidence shows something very different. In most developed economies, and increasingly in the United States since 2008, the dominant force is not free-market capitalism but a model of big government, chronic deficit spending, high debt, rising taxes, monetary debasement, regulatory obstruction, and political interventionism that protects insiders while penalizing new entrants. That is why so many millionaires and wealthy people support socialism. It is the perfect way to eliminate a merit-based system, obliterate competition, and keep privileges provided by political affiliation while demanding even more government control. Cronyism is a direct consequence of statism and a step toward socialism.

 Few people are richer and more powerful than socialist tyrants and their enablers. Meanwhile, socialism needs poor people that stay poor and remain submissive to the state. Socialism replaces success-driven inequality with a politically directed one. However, in statism inequality is a matter of price, not availability. Socialism leads to hyperinflation and scarcity because it ignores economic calculation and uses the debasement of currency to expropriate the wealth created by the remains of the private sector and keep citizens dependent and submissive, while the political leaders enjoy the perks of privilege. By eliminating the incentives to make money, thrive, and prosper, socialism delivers the opposite of what it promises. However, by the time people find out, they cannot escape.

And just so you know, that's ALL from the article in YOUR LINK!!!
