Why do liberals fail to understand this?

They don't! In fact they, at least some of them, understand it quite well but they LOVE the current mess because it empowers them.

FREEDOM is the last thing they want for individuals!

Absolutely correct....I can just hear James Carville saying something like "We've got too much freedom goin' on here." Liberals and big-government conservatives just love the tax toy, precisely because they get to play the part of puppeteer. Nuts to that.
