There is no place where there is more freedom. There is no place that is more accepting of outsiders. There is no place where there is more opportunity to rise to whatever heights you are capable of. There is no place that has tried harder than America to rise above the problems of the past and of human nature. Collectivism is, therefore, a fantasy.

Taxation is oppression. Lieing is bad. But these are the basics. Quite a few Liberals will claim to understand at least some of these things, but their actions generally show that that is untrue. There's a simple reason why Liberals can not learn these things.
