6. There is No Nanny State
It's a Right Wing Red Herring. Super rich in this country don't want to share their wealth with the country that helped them get so wealthy, so they trump up a condescending description for all the selfish American to get up in arms about any form of socialism.

It is every citizen's duty to pay their share. That's not a Nanny state. That's compassion and PATRIOTISM! It's what keeps a Democracy Alive and keeps us from becoming a Fascist state!
