Companys Watching you at home? Making sure you are not smoking. Such a practice is almost non-existant. Also you are free to take another job. Forcing the company to continue to employee people it doesn't want to employee is itself a reduction in freedom. However companies that follow such practices have to face the reality that the employees don't like such rules, even many non-smokers could object to them. Such companies could face the loss of highly qualified employees, or face having to compensate them in some other way (better pay, better insurance, more flexible work hours, whatever). Did you not state that are taxes causes less freedom's in Canada than in the U.S? They do. In an of itself every increase in taxes reduces freedom. I also said that what the tax money is spent on might increase freedom more then the tax decreases it but frequently it does not. Of course you can point out individual ways in which Canada is freer then the US, and I can point out the opposite. My point is not that the US is freer then Canada (although I believe that to be true at least to a small extent), but that higher taxes are themselves a reduction in freedom. Tim
