I sent $25 to the Bernie Sanders campaign a few weeks ago, and now I am bombarded with requests for money and volunteer calling. I decided that the campaign could use my "advice" more. So, I sent the following to info@BernieSanders.com in response to the message: "I will be with Bernie as long as he is willing to fight". I wonder if any of it will percolate up to the great man.
Bernie has a whole arsenal to use: the actual contents of documents that the billionaires and their lackeys misrepresent.
Adam Smith only used "free market" once, and that was the wool merchants kept the price of wool down by legislative means.
Adam Smith said that "This order of men is not to be trusted..." These were those who lived by profit.
Adam Smith's invisible hand really is a variation of the law of unintended consequences. He did not state that either man succeeded, only that the outcomes did not necessarily match their intentions.
The billionaires ignore much of the constitution. What part of Congress having the power to "regulate commerce" among the states don't they understand? Isn't sending pollution to another state commerce among the states?
What part of "no religious test" don't they understand?
In his "Farewell Address" George Washington warned about foreign entanglements and admonished his reader to pay their taxes.
If you can find an expert on the Federalist Papers, he or she can give you lots of ideas to counter the selfish who have no sense of community.
I can't find my reference, but a true free market is
Many buyers and sellers,
Both buyers and sellers are free to enter and leave the market,
Both buyers and sellers have all the information they need to make a decision,
There are no externalities.
Finally, avoid any questioning of the personal integrity. Providing honest definitions of their pronouncements should do quite well for "hoisting them on their own petards."

I didn’t mention that he should also remind the Republicans of the warning given by the last great Republican President: Dwight David Eisenhower; the military-industrial complex. Now Ike’s party as been taken over by the military-industrial complex.
