3. K&R. Bernie is actually far more of a "Bull Moose" than a Socialist!

The Progressive Party of 1912 was an American political party. It was formed by former President Theodore Roosevelt, after a split in the Republican Party between him and President William Howard Taft.

The party also became known as the Bull Moose Party after journalists quoted Roosevelt saying "I feel like a bull moose" shortly after the new party was formed.

The platform's main theme was reversing the domination of politics by business interests, which allegedly controlled the Republicans' and Democrats' parties, alike. The platform asserted that: To destroy this invisible Government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day.[11]

To that end, the platform called for

-Strict limits and disclosure requirements on political campaign contributions
-Registration of lobbyists
-Recording and publication of Congressional committee proceedings

In the social sphere the platform called for

-A National Health Service to include all existing government medical agencies.
-Social insurance, to provide for the elderly, the unemployed, and the disabled
-Limited injunctions in strikes
-A minimum wage law for women
-An eight hour workday
-A federal securities commission
-Farm relief
-Workers' compensation for work-related injuries
-An inheritance tax
-A Constitutional amendment to allow a Federal income tax

The political reforms proposed included

-Women's suffrage
-Direct election of Senators
-Primary elections for state and federal nomination

No grocery stores around here, just mega-supermarkets. And Walmarts, of course.
