The USA is a land of innumerable superlatives and extremes. For a long time it was considered the richest, most noble and praiseworthy land on the planet. It isn't any longer, yet literally billions are spoiling to come and live here, and scores of millions are succeeding.
Many a time nowadays, though, ameriKan statistics cast a withering eye on our starry notions about ourselves. A larger percentage of the population is in prison here -- that can't be normal. Our crime rates are shocking -- we're now leading the former First World in that doing likewise. More recently, it comes out that the Permanent Regime in Washington charges corporations more for the "privilege" of their existence than does any other country in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and development -- or possibly the world!

U.S. Corporate Tax Rate Consequences
Of the citizens that hear or read this news, I fear many will shrug and say "Well, that's the price of living in a free country!" It doesn't occur to them that things that used to be free now cost money, and things that were affordable are now luxuries.
This is happening because the fedgov and its real, hidden owners have clearly decided that freedom must go -- no less in business than private life and thought.
