9. And use even more extreme framing when they say but, but free markets...

We say:
"Would you be OK with buying two or three rights-of-way for competing roads instead of just one so we can have free-market freedom of choice in our travels?"

or

"Shouldn't we require farmers out West to repay the public for decades of free use of Homestead Act Lands? After all, wasn't that really communism in disguise?"

or

"Shouldn't we be giving our soldiers free-market choices for which boot camp they attend? After all, you're demanding choice of where you send your kids to primary school"....

Being highly hypocritical in their views, that should set them back for a minute......
