I'm 47 years old, and in my short lifetime I've watched our personal freedoms taken away from us one after another. I am now "free" to live like a sheep under constant govt. guidance in every aspect of my life. And I'm "free" to pay them more than a third of the money I make in federal taxes for that privilege. And then I'm "free" to pay most of the rest of the money I make in "fees" (driving a fucking car is ridiculously expensive), property taxes, fines (speeding tickets are nothing more these days than a joint venture between local govt., federal govt., and insurance companies), and of course sales tax on everything I buy.
At the end? Probably 60% of everything I make is already gone to the govt. BEFORE I start paying my bills.
I don't know if I can afford all this "freedom" But thank God the govt. is around to save me from the dangers of watching a Max Hardcore movie. Or any of the millions of other things they dictate to me every damn day.
Are there any free countries out there?
