Default Re: Why are so many college students far-left liberals or socialists?

[ QUOTE ]
But these budding intellectuals get exposed to socialist ideas for the first time and when you are in the center of government spending its hard to see how socialism isnt a good thing. Its hard to understand that the reason your local factory workers are getting laid off is because your prof is making 150K/yr.

Huh?

a) How are university students "at the center of government spending?" Higher education subsidies are a minuscule portion of government spending.
b) Lol if you think factory workers are getting laid off because of what college professors make (and the vast majority of them make less than 150K).
