'Liberation' sure sounds like a good thing......
...but it depends what one is being 'liberated' from.
Take a look, and see the subject of said 'liberation'.....in their own words.
1. "The advance of leftist values and policies that characterizes this takeover [of society] has weakened the moral and cultural foundations on which this country rose to become the most powerful nation on earth. Under this administration, the war on culture has expanded to include the left's war on Christians, on women, on men, on children, on minorities, and on the rule of law.
The leftist lack of principles behind the disappearance of moral and cultural decency has infiltrated our federal government and many of our most important institutions.
...the left's agenda is a history of anger at, and hatred of, capitalism, religion, and individual initiative. Leftists hate the very foundations of Western culture.
...Herbert Marcuse, a communist professor who escaped Nazi Germanyin the 1930s and set up shop in America. Marcuse and another popular Marxist author, Erich Fromm, became influential leaders of the movement toward Marxism in this country. Both...were proponents of what was called "polymorphous sexuality"
...the ultimate liberation of mankind from sexual repression and from the need to work for a living. They envisioned a society in which American citizens would give up individual freedom to the state and become pleasure-seeking functionaries whose only value consisted in pushing the envelope of hedonism."
"Stop the Coming Civil War," by Michael Savage, chapter three
The truth of the above is before our very eyes.
2. "On Tuesday, the CBO confirmed what conservatives warned about during the first debates on the law — ObamaCare is bad for the economy. The non-partisan office estimated that, in just a decade, there will be 2.5 million fewer workers in the labor market than otherwise would be without the health care overhaul. In addition, ObamaCare will increase the debt by more than $1 trillion over the next ten years."

Good or bad? Depends on whether one is a Liberal, or a clear thinker.
3. "The Congressional Budget Office estimated on Tuesday that the Affordable Care Act will reduce the number of full-time workers by 2.5 million over the next decade. That is mostly a good thing, a liberating result of the law. Of course, Republicans immediately tried to brand the findings as “devastating” and stark evidence of President Obama’s health care reform as a failure and a job killer.
The new law will free people, young and old, to pursue careers or retirement without having to worry about health coverage. Workers can seek positions they are most qualified for and will no longer need to feel locked into a job they don’t like "

a. "....House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the health care law fulfills the promises of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness because it allows people to leave jobs that include health insurance as a benefit: You can become a “photographer or writer.”
“I’ve always said that the Affordable Care Act is something that was transformative,” Pelosi said ..." Pelosi Obamacare Means You Could Be A Photographer or Writer CNS News
For those literate enough....the Left's misuse of language was foretold...
"War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength;"...the three slogans of the English Socialist Party ("INGSOC" for short) of Oceania."

4. Dr. Thomas Sowell, in “Applied Economics: Thinking Beyond Stage One,” challenges individuals to analyze not only their short term (Stage One) impact but to also think ahead to their long term (Stage Two, Three, etc) impact. Politicians do not think beyond Stage One because they will be praised (and elected) for the short term benefits but will not be held accountable much later when the long term consequences appear.
And reliable Democrat voters buy it like it was on sale.
So....with all this 'liberation' from having to work for a living......who do the Liberals/Progressives/Democrats believe will pay to keep the newly-liberated in the life style they've come to expect?
The answer requires thinking beyond Stage One.
