it's a sad thing that freedom from want is not based on need (as in wanting health care and affordable housing and a basic standard of living)
The rich do not have any more freedoms than the poor. Just because they do not take advantage of them is not the fault of the rich(whatever rich is).

I did not say income tax is anti-freedom, but income based on what some bureaucrat decides you need is anti-freedom.

I worked a full time job plus another 8hrs/day on my business for 20 years, plus did not have children. These actions and choices are what allowed me to build my business. And now that it worked for me some lazy gov't fuck wants to take it from me to give to some single mom with 5 kids.
