Well, as far as no 1 goes, you can be in control of your life but unfortunately you still need to pay taxes that is part of living in a civilized country. It is your duty and responsibility to pay taxes. So with what is left which is way more than 50% you can control your life to your hearts content. Because you want to keep every penny for yourself and have someone else pay for all the facilities you use and do not want to share with the weak and poor you are as I said selfish and greedy. You can justify it however you wish but it still adds up to greedy and selfish. 2. You do have a right to share any part of your wealth not subject to taxes and that is Freedom, total freedom. You also have the freedom to start your own country somewhere else if you wish. Tax Free I might add. 3. Freedom does not mean that you can do whatever you wish. It means that within a set of rules you are free to capitalize on the system and create great happiness and success for yourself by moving about and doing what is necessary to achieve your goals. But there are rules and part of the rules concern how to deal with others and part of the rules mean you have to pay for the infrastructure, ie taxes and that is freedom. Sorry, it does not mean that you can rob and bank and take the money for yourself. As far as me being a socialist that is quite wrong (I strongly believe in Capitalism, but as Mr. Bush would say compassionate Capitalism), and the class of 64' statement, well that is interesting. Did I pass your question answering test, teacher?
