Hartmann: Whose freedom?

Of course everyone wants freedom. But which kind? In his FB post he talks about how liberals and conservatives define freedom.

Liberals want to conditions that allow us to be free: National healthcare, free education, food and housing rights, a living wage, unemployment benefits, workplace safety, public services etc.

Conservatives want the conditions that allow corporations and the wealthy to be free: Tax breaks that benefit only them, laws that siphon most of the wealth to the top, the ability to buy lawmakers to do their bidding, the ability to take risks not only with their own health but to infect others too.

Which freedom do you want?
