Upper Township - America’s earliest settlers learned that the principles of socialism lead to economic disaster and personal suffering, with Plymouth's first form of government, the Mayflower Compact.

These people figured this out in under a year. So what is our problem today? I think a revised history is being taught in many institutions.
