Pretty razor-thin margin, dontchya think? Maybe the "99%"...er... the 15%... should be railing against the 70% instead of the 1%. Just a thought.

I guess the bad news is that roughly 15% prefer a government managed economy, and roughly 14% are unsure.

70% Prefer Free Market to Government-Managed Economy
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

Well, given the trash in office all across the land...apparently this 70% doesn't know how to vote, doesn't vote or sucks at knowing what voting entails...

 ::gaah::

And that hardcore commie 15% can join that moronic 14% and GTFO!

We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.

Skeptical.  That 70% have no idea what a free-market economy is; they've never lived in one.  Call me a cynic, but at the first "injury", a majority of that 70% of today's population will be screaming for a law or regulation or instituting a lawsuit.
