    @spaceghoti -

    Also, you conveniently ignored these:

    The definition of "freedoms" is kind of vague here, so unless taxes can be considered a violation of our "freedom" to use our property as we see fit, let's move on to regulations.

    There is no need for evidence here. Regulations are laws, and laws are commands that say either that you must do X, or that you can't do Y. As such, laws are clearly "holding back our freedoms", because they all limit our choices.

    See? Was that so hard?

    I see, so I have to back up my assertions but you don't? In fact, your assertion is demonstrably wrong.
    

    I pointed out that taking money from some and giving it to others, minus "costs", is actually a negative sum game.

    How is the minimum wage related to my claim?
