How many of us are really free? The govt watches our every move, the Federal Reserve encourages us to become debt slaves. Many of us work soul crushing jobs, living pay check to paycheck, which slowly rob us of our humanity/dignity. Retirement is a pipe dream, likely to consist of only the brief moment between when your heart gives out and when you hit the floor. Sure, we the have the freedom to starve, the freedom to become homeless, etc. As Kris K said 50 years ago, 'Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose'.
Most of us were also duped into believing in the system. Work hard and succeed, the American Dream....sound familiar. Lots of folks are working hard, only to the benefit of elites & 1%-ers. To quote the late George Carlin, 'There's a reason they call it the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it'.
