------------------------------------------ i looks at things from MY time frame Slade .
-------------------------------------- from my 70 year old time frame Slade .
Sounds like old news to me. We are living in a different era than you come from.
----------------------- agree , i figure that except for my Parents Generation i had the BEST of everything that the USA could offer . That's economically and Freedom wise . Seems to me that thing are tightening up in this USA but mostly for YOUSE guys , millenials and their kids Slade .
Perhaps, but I feel like we live a pretty privileged life in a pretty awesome country. There are a lot of things we can do better but we are pretty damn lucky IMO.
You lived through Vietnam and the draft didn’t you? ~80% tax rate on high earners? Jim crow in the south? How did those measure up on your freedom scale?
------------------------------------- I didn't care about 'vietnam' , thought they should be nuked . 'jim crow' , didn't know what it was and wouldn't have cared if i had known . Draft was fine IMO and i considered the couple 'dodgers' i knew about that went to 'canada' to be traitorous Hippies . 80 percent tax on high earners , i always had enough money and wasn't aware , wouldn't have cared if i had been aware of 80 percenters as everyone i knew seemed to live in nice houses with plenty to eat , drove cars , went to work , had toys and cash , yada , yada , yada . My issues or only concerns have always pretty much been my Personal Freedom Slade .
