Government A.

I'd rather have higher taxes than a bunch of plutocrats exchanging my private information and controlling my destiny. Country B may be more economically free, but Country A protects my individuality, and that's what I consider true freedom.

Either they have equal freedom or one is freer than the other.  You can't answer an either/or question with "neither."  It doesn't make sense.

Neither does the question.

How doesn't it?

It's an interpretive question, Bono. What do you interpret freedom to be?

Then why didn't he ask that instead of giving a loaded question?

How is it loaded? Which country do you feel is more free. Based on what I've learned about you, you're likely to believe B is, and that's fine. Just say it.
