Republicans claim to be for everybody's "freedom", but when it comes to their economic policies, they take away the spending freedom of about 99% of Americans in the process of giving more to the top 1%. Also I want to know how they can advocate "liberty" and "freedom" when they enact laws that impose religious principles on everybody, restrict people's right to vote, restrict the right of gays to marry, and restrict women's right to choose. When you do the math, the numbers don't seem to add up IMO.
