Are Americans Really Free, or Just Free Range Tax Slaves Trapped in a Matrix?

Excerpt:
The current circumstances we find ourselves in is not an organic form of human evolution based on a society with benevolent principles, but one that has been surreptitiously engineered to benefit a tiny portion of our population. As a result, we live by complex tax codes, policies, rules, laws, and regulations that are quite literally harvesting our own energy while propping up a system that maintains the illusion of freedom that protects the very power structure that enslaves us.
What is Freedom?
The definition of freedom in the Merriam Webster dictionary is as follows: The quality or state of being free: such as the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action. Liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another: Independence. There are many other forms of freedom like free speech, freedom of religion, property rights, etc. I would like to keep it simple and discuss freedom in a general sense as it pertains to one’s individual sovereignty.
The Freedom Paradox
At its most fundamental level, freedom is our time, energy and ability to choose how we spend it. We exchange our time and energy for money to pay the costs of living. Money is just a representation of our time and energy, so money = our freedom. Unless you live off the grid in the woods, you’ll need to exchange your freedom (time & energy) to live a somewhat comfortable existence in the modern world.
Our time is our freedom, yet we need to forfeit most of to participate in the current system. Therein lies the paradox. There are really no other choices either. It’s either the system or off-grid in the woods. My issue is not with contributing to society through the free market system. The problem is when the socioeconomic system is so bloated, inefficient and corrupt it ends up consuming all of its peoples’ freedom by force, and by design. So why do we need to give up so much of our freedom just to exist in a “free society”?
