I’m for freedom. For everyone. But that takes personal sacrifice.
A willingness for a society to provide basic necessities. For everyone. Such as
universal health care. And a living wage. And education, Yes, for everyone.
And for that to be possible, we have to make sacrifices. To distribute wealth
in a way that makes those necessities affordable. For everyone. That means requiring
some of us to put more into the public coffers than others. Yes, for the rich
to subsidize the poor. To some reasonable extent. That’s how we move in the
direction of bringing personal freedom to everyone. If one has the necessities of
life, it’s more likely that one will be significantly free. That’s why I’m a
political liberal. And a socialist sympathizer. I want freedom. Not only for
myself. But for everyone. That’s my
perception of the true American way. –Jim Broede
