There is an old saying: Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by stupidity. People have enslaved others in every land, every country from the time that some people discovered that they could force others to do work for them. Forced labor, slavery, discourages thought and innovation and to that extent in counterproductive. The Book of Mormon calls a tax rate of 20% 'bondage' and 50% slavery. Socialism depends on force, true capitalism, free enterprise, on voluntary association. But it is certainly, at first glance, easier to make someone do what is wanted than it is to persuade someone to do it, or to even (shudder!) pay them for their time. Socialism and its buddies are the enslavers, capitalism promotes freedom. Freedom is more efficient. It works better, in the long run.

I live in California and the liberals here will LOVE this curriculum. It’s tough to counteract the effects of false teachings to our youngest and impressionable children.
