Opebo, you and I agree!

This must be a sign of the apocalypse.

But economic freedom for the wealthy results in less equality of income, which results in less freedom for the lower classes. In a capitalist society, money=freedom to a certain extent, and so more equality can produce more freedom for many people, not less. The freedom to spend your money however you see fit doesn't do you much good if you don't have much to spend.

My point is that there are different ways of looking at the old "equality vs. freedom" debate on economic issues.

True, there are different types of freedom. My point still stands though, that lower taxes and less regulation on business does not necessarily increase freedom. Greater freedom for some people can result in less freedom for others.
