So here's an interesting question which I read on another blog.... As the elections heat up, the Democrat candidates hint at raising taxes to fix our budget deficit and keep social security from going under. Basically either the government goes back on its word and lowers/changes benefits for people who have paid in thinking they were getting one thing and instead will get a lot less. Or the government raises taxes a LOT to pay for it. The question is, at what level of taxation/confiscation do we no longer have freedom? Heck, people already talk about 60% tax rates on rich people. Those people are no longer free, they are slaves of the system, working hard and smart so they can keep less than half of what they earned? Is that freedom? It doesn't seem like freedom to me.
