[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 1480463, member: 56035"] just because somebody tells you your "free" doesnt mean you are, especially if its the government, its usually the opposite of what they tell you. people are far more free in the european countries than america. what you said was probably true 40 years ago, but at present no way. 50% of americans are either in poverty, near it, or just above it. automation, "free trade", immigration, and women entering the workforce have put a downward pressure on wages in america. its important to remember that in the 1950s, 1 unionized wage earner could support a whole family with no debt. now everyone is working, and in debt. this "right to work" rhetoric is the right to bust unions which is a right to push wages down down down....
