Name a period in our history when Americans had more freedom than they have today......I'll wait
Name a time in our American history, except during the Civil War, WW1, and WW2, when Americans had LESS freedom than we have today..........we'll wait.
It's a shame to see a seemingly intelligent person (you), who is so drunk on the leftist Kool-Aid that he/she has lost any semblance of honesty, integrity, and objectivity.
Well in 1900 the govenrment all in all spent something like 5% of gdp.
Today it's over 40%.
Surely 40% of your income that the government takes from you on average in the long run counts as something? 40% of your work belongs to the government.
Meanwhile the general direction for regulations is also up.
Seems like you have the freedom to work your ass off for far a far smaller percentage of your actual earnings. But wait, that means that someone else now has the freedom to sit on their ass and do nothing to earn their keep.
