It absolutely is imperative to acknowledge the problems in your country and want to see things improved.
Patriotism is like saying “I’m proud of my house and will work towards improving it.”
Nationalism is saying “My house is the best because it is my house and I will hear nothing to the contrary!”

America is free. The $8k deductible is a shame. Mine was $10k. It was $1,500 before ObamaCare screwed us all. Plus my premiums doubled. So votes matter. Freedom.

Don't go to fast food places. No customers, and they will change. There's a market for fast cheap crap apparently. Your choice not to buy that crap. I don't. Freedom of choice.

Living in the city is dangerous? Oh yeah. Again, votes matter. People vote for the ills perpetrated on the community. Nowhere is that more evident in blue cities with rising crime. Watch who you vote for. City dwellers have no one to complain to except themselves. They voted for and continue to vote for failed policies and those championing them. Voting equals freedom.

Censorship sucks. But people voted for those people censoring us. And they continue to support sites that do so. Freedom.

The country is as free as we the people make it.

The United States is going through a "trying" period to say the least....you can take income inequality as you did,thats huge. And Corporations are now people who have a disproportionate influence over who gets elected and how they vote

Mitch McConnell who gets most of his backing from private health insurance concerns has zero interest in getting ACA (Obama Care) through the Senate

Can we love the USA and still want to improve America? I was taught this was patriotism,pure and simple....but we're divided blaming things on mythical entities

My Grandmother came to this nation from Ireland because she would have had to divide up the farm and there wasn't enough for her and her Brother to divide...so she came here ,married had nine children and thrived. I'm not pulling up stakes because its hard times

Well I work for very less then. No extra time. My average work hours like 270 hours a month. With a fixed pay. My colleague have benefits they work like 200 hours and fixed income more pay since I am a man but my boss supports young girls 😉 so they get raise 16-20% whereas since I am the only male and responsible for their job I get 8%.

Everyone should want to improve their home because your concerns are REAL and they are getting worse. And it doesn't matter who is in charge, these problems are real and increasing. People need to come together to fix them, not just trust some politician who has never worked in their interests will do it.

It is good and healthy to raise those questions from time to time and seriously question the extent and quality of 'freedom'.

Freedom is America's enemy. We lost.

Yes, yes it is freedom. It's the freedom to step on the other on the climb. Freedom the exploit,. Freedom to exclude. Freedom to profit on misery.

Yes it's the most free country.... For some.
