Rand Paul: Sanders ‘Sounds Like Trump to Me,’ the Right Anger, the Wrong Solutions

Rand Paul: Bernie Sanders "Sounds Like Trump To Me," The Right Anger, The Wrong Solutions (RealClearPolitics)

BECK: “When we look at people like Bernie Sanders. I watched the debate with the Democrats, and I listen to Bernie Sanders and think I have a lot in common with Bernie Sanders, none of it on policy, none of it on policy, but his solutions are harebrained.”
PAUL: “Sounds like Donald Trump to me. He has the correct anger, angry at Washington, but the policy may not exactly be there.”
BECK: “Not really and I don't even think Donald Trump is this accurate. Bernie Sanders is talking about the way capitalism is being done is immoral. And he can make a good case for it, the way the crony capitalists are in with the people in Washington, the way Washington is being run is immoral.”
PAUL: “Yet, he problem though is Bernie complains about crony capitalism and he kind of gets it right, but he equates it with all of capitalism, and promotes something called Democratic socialism ... There is nothing cool and nothing sexy about socialism. What there is the implied force that goes along with taking away your choice. They tell you cannot make reindeer, you cannot make cars, you cannot sell water. Only the state tells you what you can do. It's the most anti-choice economic system. If you don't listen they fine you, if you don't pay the fine they imprison you. If you will not listen ultimately what has happened in history -- and people get angry when I say this, but they exterminate you. And that's what happened under Stalin. And people say, 'No, no, no. He wants Democratic socialism.' The problem is the majority can be just as bad as one single authoritarian. And that's why we should not allow any of our rights to be subject to a majority. Our founding fathers understood that. They understood that your rights come from your creator and no majority should be able to take them away from you."
