Yeah, let's think about it.

"The US is a "mixture" only to the extent government has interfered with free markets -- in essentially every instance, with a demonstrably negative effect on the public."

Should be fairly easy to show social security has had a demonstrably negative effect on us. It's been in effect for 80 years. Maybe fewer people are working now, and that the GDP has shrunk since it passed. That would be pretty negative. Demonstrate away.
