Helping minorities and unfortunate are called socialism. Helping the big corporations and wealthy with tax advantages are called good business. The hypocrisy!

[zigzag]

Maybe you should ask them why they think capitalism is failing them?

[julieplyons]

Because unrestrained capitalism has resulted in economic inequality and the wealthy oligarchs own Congress... and we see European democratic socialist countries with better lives for their citizens.

[kojo]

The abject ignorance of this woman is staggering! No doubt, the majority of her electorate deserve what they voted for. 🙃

[really]

I call bs on this fool. How accurate can this statistic be when young people have read neither Marx nor Jefferson?

[badbiker]

Ah, Florida!!! The land of intellectuals.

[GH-xbjh]

All she’s doing is showing everyone she has no idea what socialism is. 😅

[alchemest]

Just listening to her proves she knows nothing about what she is talking about.

[jameswaters]

Marx is 100 years after Jefferson, when the industrial age began to show it's enmity to the rights of labor.

[Ltrebels]

Blaming the youth with generalized fuzzy facts.

[johnhorter]

Sorry maam, you're wrong. What makes millennials hate capitalism is that it benefits only a few at the expense of many, and it keeps getting more so every day. Make capitalism work for all, and all will be in favor of it.

[RAM-lokw]

Heaven forbid we try to ban together to make sure noone has to turn to go fund me for a medical crisis

[annesm]

Children are the future!!! Yes Genz and others know inclusion and compassion if that is woke count me in! If equality in the healthcare system makes me a socialist count me in, the same with taking care of our Vets, children, the disabled, and the elderly. One of my favorite sayings is "It takes a village to raise a child "Taking care of everyone is how to make a village work.

[b.richardsalas]

I'm a millennial. I feel like capitalism is failing me. The rich get richer leaving the rest of us with few but because the rich exist we are supposed to be thrilled?

[DamienDrake]

WE NEED BOTH!!! Both pure Capitalism and pure Socialism are subject to corruption and mismanagement. Capitalism is good for building an economy while Socialism is good for making sure everyone benefits from it.

[johnbrattan]

The Manifesto was written in 1848, by both Marx and Engels. And Marx was a German. This woman has NO idea what she's talking about. NONE.

[alexandergallant]

This is totally ridiculous this woman should not be in congress!

[packritmakeyaactright]

Thomas Jefferson… the slave owner? That’s who you reference in regards to the freedoms bestowed by the constitution? Ok

[petervandenbroek]

She should read up, communism isn't the same as socialism.

[cosmiccharlie]

That's right lady! Build wealth on the backs of poor hard working Americans! That's America!!!
