According to Gallup survey, 36 percent of Americans have a favorable view of socialism. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that 53 percent of Democrats and 61 percent of so-called “liberals” have a positive view of this economic system that emphasizes collectivism over the individual.

The survey also shows:

• 95% of Americans have a positive view of small business
• 86% have a positive view of free enterprise
• 84% hold a positive view of entrepreneurs
• 61% have a positive view of capitalism, 33% hold an unfavorable view
• 49% hold a negative view of big business
• 51% have a unfavorable view of the federal government, 46% have a favorable view

If voters would actually identify what Democrats were doing as socialism, they wouldn’t have control of Congress at the end of the year. I wonder if we’ll start hearing “socialism” and “socialist” more often during campaign season.
