The scare headline says "Just 53% Say Capitalism Better Than Socialism" leading you to believe that 47% think socialism is better. If you bother to read the results of a telephone poll by Rasmussen Reports, you learn that only 20% prefer socialism, the other 27% don't have an opinion or don't know.
A headline that said "Only One in Five Prefers Socialism" wouldn't have been nearly so sensational, would it? Or how about "Number Preferring Capitalism 2.5 Times Greater than Number Preferring Socialism?"
I guess my favorite headline out of this survey would have been "More than One in Four Americans Clueless about Economic Systems." Actually, that last headline understates the degree of economic ignorance in our population.
