Can you walk out the door of a home that you own (not the bank) - grow fruit and vegetables on the land surrounding your home - raise chickens for eggs - barter with a neighbor for milk from his cows - ????

Can you really do anything without getting deeper in debt?

How free are you?

Is too much Government the problem? or not enough Government???

There's a saying that 2 things you can always rely on are death and taxes. Taxes are meant to be a social tith to be used for the benefit of society - to build roads, bridges, sewers, street lights - and of course nothing is perfect and Government gets blames for everything that isn't perfect.

But is it Government or the lack of Government? Isn't it the failure of the people elected to represent THE PEOPLE!

AND just exactly what is capitalism??? Is it democratic? Doesn't capitalism prevent the equal distribution of natural resources for the benefit of all mankind? Doesn't capitalism allow for the accumulation of power and wealth in the hands of a minority?

How doe capitalism jell with democracy? Who has more freedom - your boss or you? Should there be a difference?

Isn't socialism based on sharing for the good of all? What is wrong with that? What is wrong with distributing the natural wealth of earth? Why are there people on this planet who grow food, mine & manufacture for rich capitalistic societies - that die of starvation?

WHY?
