Yes, I have the "freedom" to have almost 1/2 my wealth taken by the government at gunpoint... a situation that didn't exist prior to 1917 (the same year the communists took control of Russia).

The "freedom" to have part of my wealth confiscated by Social Security, a program I am adamantly opposed to and will never use... created by the criminal and Constitutional traitor, FDR.

The "freedom" to be living in a house that has a permanent lien on it by the State, which means I never truly own it -- and if I fail to pay what they arbitrarily demand, they will -- with guns -- steal the house and auction it off for pennies on the dollar.

The "freedom" to see a goodly portion of the wealth I create go to social programs I am diametrically opposed to.

The "freedom" to be scanned by government agents in public places who will try to match my face to those of wanted criminals.

The list goes on and on. Up to 70% of those trapped in our prisons today would have been considered good citizens 100 years ago.

This country is now called a "nation of laws" -- you hear it all the time. But that is NOT what it was founded upon. It used to be a nation of individual rights. Laws were passed to protect those rights. Now the laws are being used to subvert them.

Do not labor under the illusion that you have liberty. The freedom you think you have is not what freedom was in this country during the 19th Century.

As more and more laws are passed and enforced, more good citizens are made "criminals."
