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?

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
