What the article calls “freedom” is actually anarchy. Fact is, there are some “common good” laws needed, but at the state level. One reason for that is that it keeps the bureaucracy relatively small and close, and causes states to compete: If one state has a really “sweet” welfare deal, pretty soon anyone paying for it has moved out.
BTW, life is risk. Freedom really DOES mean more danger. But heck, if we really wanted total security, why would we ever leave home?
We don’t live in a free country. Americans don’t want it.
We are regulated from dawn to dusk. Just the way we like it.
Streets are crawling with armed government thugs with a code book so large you can’t fit it into the back of a squad car.
No product goes to market without navigating a maze of tax and regulatory hurdles.
Land of the Free, home of the regulated and fearful.
