  "... Bern is not for a Venezuelan-style approach ..."  Maybe not consciously or on purpose, but gee - giving away 'free' this and 'free' that, all funded (of course) by confiscatory taxation leveled on the (carefully undefined) "rich" - Sen. Sanders' approach certainly *sounds* Venezuelan, whether he cares to admit it, or not.  :-/  
  
  I merely pointed out how that approach was working out.  ;-)
  
  By the way, Denmark is a mixed economy under a constitutional monarchy - not (strictly speaking) a socialist government (although it is a very generous welfare state).  Interesting facts on Wikipedia:  There is no federally-mandated minimum wage in Denmark.  73% of the population approves of international trade and 'globalization'.  They are quite careful about who they let into the country - even seizing personal effects (including wedding rings) from refugees, to pay for the social costs.
  
  Bernie support all that??  :D   (Just wondering ...)
