Then I apologize for saying you were being rude.
I can understand why you would value economic freedom as you did not have it before and it has obviously given you some control over your life. That is a good point.
I am not an economist and am keeping an eye on smallpox and the Lying Dutchman to learn more.
However since we have been living with a very free rein on economics here in this country, I have noticed changes which I don't think are too good and which I do hope at some point will be changed.
I have noticed we have an underclass of people who now are turning more and more to gangs and guns and even people in their teens killing each other.
I have noticed that the emphasis on free economics has allowed things to come into being which before we worked hard to change.
We however do have safety nets, we do have human rights for our people and we do have all kinds of ways in which people can protest - not the least to get the papers onto their case.
So while I can understand that it must feel like a great freedom to have economic freedom, there is also another side to this which could well mean that some people suffer more.
I think therefor it probably is necessary to address both issues.
