The restraint of freedom for the individual good is slavery

To call this statement bizarre is far too kind.

Did it occur to you that the rather common prohibition of murder is a 'restraint of freedom?'

How about speed laws? Red lights?

Ummmmm...real estate developer, eh?

You're mixing apples and fish. The restraint of one person from committing an act that injures another person is called a "law". We are a nation of "laws". Your use of the example of the law prohibiting murder is not an example of "restraint of freedom". Your comprehension of legal, political and economic terms and concepts is rather limited. And that's being kind.
