I have never claimed the USA has become a nanny state, nor have I harbored such a belief privately, so I can't explain to you how it has become a nanny state. It is your view which I labeled nanny statism. I do not, however, consider your view to be valid. Your words ...("The people don't know what they are talking about") is the perspective of nanny statism and it is your view alone that I was referring to. A viewpoint which I have already discounted as invalid. A nanny state perspective is one in which the people are incapable of knowing what is good for them so the state must take on that role.
