Nobody is more free than America!!!! There has to be some kind of gimmick!!! What are they doing, bribing people with basic protections and social services that counteract the crushing forces of poverty???
Dang straight. Freedom is having every opportunity to fall into poverty. Thats what those other countries don't understand
Freedom means nothing without rights. Every society is a "free" society to kings and billionaires, not so much for the poor. Freedoms are rights plus allowance. We allow for much in the US, but we do not universally uphold rights.
suprisingly close to my thought process
