Have you read any of the bils that have been passed recently or any that are coming down the pipe? How about the Energy Bill? They are all embedded with laws that basically cap your freedom. For instance - you decide to build a house - under the H.R. 2454 you can build a house that gov't approves based on the number of people living in the house. The Gov't determines the size and how much power you will be allotted in a month - if your house is bigger than they deem necessary guess what - you don't get approved to build it because they won't allow the power to your home. How about lets say you already have a home and you live in a neighborhood - your neighborhood covenance is no longer run by your neighborhood b/c the gov't will have total and final say so on what your by-laws are in every neighborhood. Or, lets say you don't live in a neighborhood but you own land - guess what not anymore b/c according to this new bill going through the senate - IF the gov't decides they need it or if they decide what your doing on your land is harmful to the enviroment they my friend can kick you out and bull-doze it down. Businesses will have to "go green" - in this bill - the congress acknowledges there will be "millions" of jobs lost and has put in provisions to allow longer unemployment. The also acknowledge that jobs will be sent over seas in order for some companies to stay in business. This bill enforces the same building codes Nation wide that California lives by. Your freedom to build a home for your family will be up to the government. How about this - if you decide to sell your home - you may only do so if your home passes the government energy standard. You will have to apply to the government for approval to sell your house. If it isn't up to energy standards (that is ALL appliances, windows, doors, etc.) they will fine you and give you a short period of time in which you MUST spend the money to get it energy efficient at which point they will grant you an approval to sell YOUR house. Your freedom to pick up and sell your house will be gone because the government will make this decision. If you haven't read this bill they are about to vote on you should b/c it boils down to one issue FREEDOM. If it is passed - more of your freedoms will be taken.
