Lots of talk about freedom these days.Freedom for what?What is it we are missing? Is this code for something?

I can't pin anyone down or follow any threads that make sense.

Freedom from taxes? Taxes pay for services---parks,police,fire,libraries,roads,sewers.

I am told that we can still have those things. They are hiding money. Someone else can pay. We don't really need those services.

We can't afford those services. Crazy! Follow this crazy freedom logic;

Freedom from interference in health decisions? Fine.If one has No health insurance there are NO decisions to make.You just don't get care.

If a woman can't afford the costs for birth control they then Are Free to get pregnant.

Real freedom would be full access to health care services so one can e healthy enough to work to support themselves and/or their family.

Freedom to raise your family the way you want? If you can't afford day care for your children then you can't work if you're a single parent.

The kids don't get the attention they need if you work,so you then are a bad parent.Unless you're Ann romney who could afford not to work.

the pulic schools are stretched too thin because services have been cut because we want freedom from taxes.

Real freedom would be appropriately funding the school systems and realistically priced,quality day care services so the children can be cared for while a single parent works to support their family.

We are not asking the right questions.

The Republicans are making a real play in this election with nothing but platitudes that don'take any sense.

They certainly have nothing to offer The vast majority of the Electorate who don't want their kind of freedom .It is NOT freedom at all!
