"I can’t think of a billionaire who understands freedom."

With how many of them did you speak about that?

Good point. I've got a friend who's in the 20-30 million range, and another in the 50-60 million range, but none who are worth billions. Allow me to rephrase.

I can't think of any billionaires whom I believe are appreciative of the value of individual liberty the way that I appreciate liberty. I love liberty far more than security or even life itself. It's my believe that by the time a man has scraped up a billion dollars, he's long past placing liberty on a pedestal above life itself, because his liberty comes cheap to him. A few mil here, a few mil there... presto, security, which to him equals liberty.

My liberty comes from God alone, and is to be cherished.
