Gutfeld: Democratic Socialism Is a Movement that Can Only Survive on Ignorance

TRANSCRIPT:

GUTFELD: "But this — yeah, it’s an entire movement that in America can only survive on ignorance. You better not crack open a history book or even take a basic class in economics or this -- all this stuff falls down. You’re right, these DSA candidates have no depth, so they don’t even expect their supporters to know the difference, and they don’t. Also, we’ve got to be honest, when you look at their supporters and you look at a lot of these guys, they don’t have a family, they — a lot of them don’t work, so the realities of a full life don’t, like, impinge on them, so they can have these beliefs. The moment you have kids or you — I know, of course — or jobs, you realize that socialism is not a doable thing. There are incentives, disincentives, there are outcomes, all this stuff. So you can hold onto these beliefs, but only if you’re the actual politician, because then when you get elected, you’re exempt from the very outcomes you push on the masses that support you. You will go to a march or two, but that’s it. Other than that, you get to eat the better food, you get the better healthcare, you get the better everything when you are the politician, everybody else gets screwed."
