In what way are people in more socialist countries less free than ourselves, Lar? We are progressively taxed, we have social programs, etc. I’m not seeing the big difference. We pay the same but get far less for our $$$.

I hate to say it, but the idea of the U.S. is one thing while the reality of our country is an entirely different matter. The problem is that we pretend the former and ignore the problems inherent in the latter.
