America - The Freest Country?

[Sarmatian]

Of all the countries iv read about the Netherlands seems like the most free. America is nowhere the most free since the prison population is enormously huge, the goverment WANTS people in prison, have no doubt about that.

?

So that it can pay for them instead of them paying for themselves???

On the topic, I don't believe that USA is the freest country in the world. I'd put many European countries ahead of US...

As Meneldil said, it's just a national myth... A myth that goes a long way back, when people were slaves and/or were treated as second class citizens because of their colour, ancestry, religion etc..

Just for information, America brought freedom and equality long after the British did and Britain were the ones who dismantled the slave trade and the practise of slavery.

Look at the deficit and how much it is increasing, I really doubt the government really cares about that.
