The loss of freedom is the price citizens are willing to pay for more security. Economic freedom in America is still thriving and Capitalism has not changed since the election of Obama. Loss of individual freedom is ok, but the loss of economic freedom is bad. The loss of economic freedom results in higher taxes and more government control and on the road towards Communism. |
Capitalism is what rids people of freedom. There are millions of Americans who work at low wage jobs who have no hope of their future improving while a small minority reap the rewards. When we talk about security, we mean safety from violence. However, job insecurity leads to depression and hopelessness, and people become more desperate, leading to violence and crime (the very thing that "security" claims to prevent).
