Rather than arguing a political point and using reason to persuade another to consider a new way of understanding, it is a norm among people on the right to label the one with whom they disagree as being a "socialist."

Actually, it's not that you can't persuade anyone, we already know what is being proposed. And no matter how you dress it up, the outcome is demonstrably the same.
History, past and present, is replete with failed economic/political systems that thought "They could do it better".
As for "benefits", that's exactly what they are; A contractual agreement to provide services in exchange for services provided.
Otherwise, I should have been paid with cash and been able to invest or spend my total salary the best way I see fit.
Knute, you label the VA as a socialist organization? Really? "To care for him who bore the batte..." You liberals are very good at changing the meaning of words. The democrat party is definitely moving toward socialism and that has many of us worried due to knowing the evils of socialism, the gateway drug to communism.
