I don't understand it either. Americans are so brainwashed, they think that to have universal health care and reasonable vacation time is somehow impinging on their freedom. It is a grotesque irony for Americans to think that a society that does not help ensure the common good is some how more free than societies that have a generous social welfare state and benefits for workers and retirees (which is by the way, almost all the rest of the developed world).
In this video, Bill Maher and Bernie Sanders lay it on the line.
