Big problems


Our politicians tell us we are free, even though most governments take over 50% of what we earn.

They claim we get services that we need for our hard-earned money, even though we could buy the same services at half the price from the private sector.

Today, we ridicule the slave-owners’ claim that they “gave back” to their slaves by housing, clothing, feeding them, and bestowing upon them the “benefits” of civilization instead of leaving them in their native state.

We see this as a self-serving justification for exploitation.

In the future, we will view being forcibly taxed to pay for things we don’t want, such as bombs for the Middle East, subsidies for tobacco, other people’s abortions, regulations that put small businesses out of business, prisons for people trying to feel good, keeping life-saving medications out of the hands of dying people, etc., as taking away our freedom.

When even a small portion of our lives is spent enslaved, that part tends to dominate the rest of our time.

If we don’t put our servitude first as we structure the remainder of our lives, our masters will make sure we regret it.

How much freedom do we need to survive and how much do we need to thrive?
