Working 60 hrs at a salary job "employment at will" contracts, employers threatening to fire, is that freedom? Paying $8000 deductible insurance,

is that freedom? Having to buy a car because there are no trains, or quick mass transits, is that freedom? Can we love the USA and still want to improve America is that wrong? Worrying about being shot at school and doing safety drills at school is that freedom? is Having the cheapest fast food on every block instead of healthy cheap options on every block to walk to, is that freedom? children having to be inside afraid of kidnappers and homeless, is that freedom? Having to live outside city center because cities are run down with homeless and crime, is that freedom? Is there freedom of speech in the USA or have people been silenced by the USA government when they voice their opinions and want to improve the country like charlie Chaplin who was banned from The US after making fun of Hitler, and asked to go to Switzerland? Is USA the most free country or maybe a lie?

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.
