    A 56 percent majority of the younger group of Democrats believes that “Wall Street helps the American economy more than it hurts,” with just 36 percent believing that Wall Street hurts the economy. Older Democrats have almost exactly the opposite view. 56 percent believe that Wall Street hurts the economy; 36 percent believe it helps.

This is the only thing that surprised me in this article. I guess we're truly looking at the century of libertarianism.

I know. Aren't young liberals the people who started Occupy? That was only three years ago, if memory serves.

I am inclined to believe their survey result vis a vis Wall Street is anomalous. Or maybe young liberals have decided to quit education themselves.
