“True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence.”

What does economic security and independence have to do with freedom?  NOTHING ! ! !  Only a lying socialist would advance such dogma.

;-) This is straight out of the authoritarian's playbook.  "You can't enjoy freedom unless you are ruled by your betters."  FDR officially put America on the road to socialism — somewhere between Stalin's communism and Hitler's fascism, and America has never been able to return to true Republicanism.  Saddest of all is that the majority of the population doesn't even know it.
