"How sad to see a 53 year old woman with only one year to live living in a fantasy world....THEY are the invisible monsters working to enslave people on a daily basis. THEY are the ones who make so many rules that prevent her and her immature daughter from having a better job, a better house or a better life. Life is so miserable because of THEM."
THEY are not invisible. THEY are on TV all the time. (Ever heard of C-Span?) THEY are working to grow government. Tell me, in your "fantasy world" does bigger, more intrusive government mean more freedom?
"She equates power with the ability and desire to rob others of freedom..."
The "powerful" are the ones with the "power" to rob others of their freedom. No one can take our freedom except those in power. Besides Ron Paul, name one politician who hasn't sought to take freedom away.
"Yes, working for a living amounts to slavery."
So where would you draw the line? If the government can confiscate 33% of everything I earn (before I even see a dime, no less), is that fair? Where does slavery begin? When the feds confiscate 50%? 75%? 98%?

Look on the bright side, they probably aren't taking very much.
