..."The official mission of Youth Entrepreneurs is to provide kids with "business and entrepreneurial education and experiences that help them prosper and become contributing members of society." The underlying goal of the program, however, is to impart Koch's radical free-market ideology to teenagers. In the last school year, the class reached more than 1,000 students across Kansas and Missouri."...
Since when is the idea of a free market (with appropriate controls on it's inherent flaws) a radical idea? That's capitalism. It's how we were founded and how we grew to a superpower.
It's not a radical ideology, it's our history, and hopefully our future.

Ask the Occupy bunch and the rest of the left and you'll discover that it's the Gubment's job to look after each and everyone of us, according to them we should each get an equal amount of gruel from the Gubment pot. Only the Glorious Leader and his hand picked members of the Proletariat are entitled to have more than the rest of us.
Remember if you're unhappy and/or poor it's not your fault, it's the evil corporations and the conservatives who are hogging all the wealth and keeping you down.
That's exactly correct. And when the Gubment runs out of the middle class tax money (and middle class tax-payers) to pay for all the folks on the dole we'll see what happens...
