    “America has the most freedoms” = Freedom to exploit people and get right with little regulatory oversight

    Land of the free” = Free labor that is… companies pay people so little that most need more than 1 job, will rent forever, and won’t have anything saved for retirement.

      It’s always been that way to. The “freedom” has always been really good propaganda. The founders of this country came up with a really good model to ensure the idea of freedom was based on the freedoms of those that owned property (and people).

      There has never been a point in American history where the romanticized idea of freedom most Americans have ever even existed. Seriously, if anyone reading this disagrees, name a time period where America was “Great”. I’ll wait…
