If we have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, then I don't see "government control" as a threat to "the freedoms this country is based on." WE would be the government and in control of it, and it would protect our freedoms.

What worries me is that we may not have that kind of government, rather a government for the 1% and their lobbyists.  They don't want the government controlling them, preventing them from charging 400% more than Canadians pay for drugs, or stopping them from strip mining Bears Ears Park. But they are for subsidies and tax breaks--socialism for the rich. 

Capitalism in America is like two sheep and a wolf voting on what to have for lunch--and one sheep* always votes with the wolf.
