11. "Freedom" is a sales tool for most politicians...
but it is false advertising every time a Republican right winger mouths it. Because "freedom" for them means making everyone else bend to their will and service their economic aims--which means that if there is a dollar in your pocket it will end up in theirs, usually at the point of a gun or under threat of imprisonment.
