This whole "We've got to stop Bernie Sanders because OMG he's socialist" rings hollow considering republican hypocrisy on social security. Bernie Sanders' "big idea" is single payer healthcare. But social security is a single payer pension plan. When Rand Paul suggested means testing social security a lot of republicans were like "OMG! That makes it a welfare program!" Well duh! That's better than it being a socialist program that everybody has to participate in. Means test it so it won't cost so freaking much.
It should be a very direct message, just as Mises would have put it: national socialism, democratic socialism, communism, european style socialism, and maoism all share the belief that one individual knows more about fairness than the many he or she seeks to control for the "better good", and thus there is a need to control their actions, lives, and resources "for the better good and for their own good". The key is to expose the elitism and the loss of freedom to the elite. Elitism is just another system of serfdom dressed up with modernity. Like placing rose petals on a dung heap... Elitism is just the establishment of another aristocracy with a socialist cloak trying to hide its filth.
Washington had more growth in the number of lights visible from space relative to other areas of the country in direct proportion to the transfer of economic power from the people who produce, to those who spend it in the name of "fairness".
