Right now we live in a fairly free society.
I enjoy freedoms that we have.
Many economic systems tie into government types that do not acknowledge all the freedoms I currently enjoy.
You relish in the 'freedoms' you have grown up with and have gravitated towards.
Yet you seem to ignore the sacrifices others around the world have made for your freedoms ...

Yes, we should all be doing that actually...
If everyone in the world used a flushing toilet like we do in the west, there wouldn't be enough fresh water to facilitate that.
Why do we pay money for someone to take our sh!t away, for them to clean it and sell it BACK to us as fertiliser and purified water??
It's a very wasteful system and if we all learnt how to compost our own poop and grow our own food we would have much healthier soil, more fresh water to go around and a little bit of extra cash for good measure.

Again, is this the justification you are going to use to eliminate the freedoms I currently enjoy?

The idea of socialism and the compete government control by the bureaucrats in government is just stupid. Do you really think they have your best interests? I guess you haven't been paying attention.

Your move there, bud.
Apparently it is now "greedy" to want to keep freedoms.

Not buying a ticket for your guilt trip.
I work for what I have. I live in a society that enjoys freedoms. I wish we had more, actually. Our freedoms are delightfully outlined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Don't mess with the freedoms outlined within those documents and have at whatever economic system you want.
