America is supposed to stand for freedom. Our founders fought against extreme government control. They fought and died for the privilege to construct their own lives and to support their families without government interference. Life wasn’t as easy then as it is now.

In addition, as the US economy continues its long recovery, leading to higher wages, the consumer’s situation will continue to improve. Combine this with lower oil […]
