And so I think you see young people getting involved, because we realize the threat that is existing, and that threat is that our country is being stolen from us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/GettyImages-1268943647-1200x685-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3714293 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/GettyImages-1268943647-1200x685-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"365\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In this screenshot from the RNC\u2019s livestream of the 2020 Republican National Convention, North Carolina congressional nominee Madison Cawthorn addresses the virtual convention on Aug. 26, 2020.

But we both know that that just means we\u2019re gonna have to pay extraordinarily high tax rates in the end, which means we\u2019ll then be more and more dependent on the government to be able to sustain us and take care of us,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd again, that\u2019s just socialism with extra steps. And so I think we have this thinly veiled movement towards\u2014whether you call it communism or socialism\u2014government control is on the rise, and it\u2019s very dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cawthorn said the idea prevalent among some youth that socialism is good stems from poor public education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is the fault of the Department of Education\u2014the fact that we have a Federal Department of Education, I think, is ludicrous,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cKeep those tax dollars in your state and let your state run what you actually want to have going on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Youth should get involved in politics instead of adhering to the mentality of waiting their turn, the youngest member of Congress said Saturday. \u201cI believe that we\u2019re starting to realize\u2014this &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2274384,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/GettyImages-1268943647-1200x685-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Young People Should Get Involved in Politics, Can\u2019t \u2018Wait in Line:\u2019 Rep.
