Your comment seems to infer that freedom comes at the price of a shorter life. Statistics fail to bear that out.
US life expectancy is considerably greater than what's found in, say, Cuba. Or, for that matter, any other tyranny you care to mention.
Within the US, life expectancy is greater in less regulated places like Iowa, than in heavily governed places like Washington, D.C.
The lesson is clear: markets work - if you let them. Central planning fails- every time it's tried. Note the countries whose prosperity has rocketed from the moment they forsook all-powerful government. Their success has been directly paralleled by their degree of freedom.
Why do we continue to expand, and attempt to 'fine tune,' something destined to fail?
