You make a really good point and most of us just want that, a simple life raising our family. There is a BUT here. We went about doing that for the last 200 years and more. We were asleep. Its time to wake up and pick up the pace and put in some effort for our freedom. I can't remember the quote but it goes to the tune of 'freedom worth having is freedom worth fighting for'. Anything worth having is worth nothing if you didn't earn that. So we need to earn that freedom. We need to fight to earn it. There is no free lunch, period. Fight, fight, fight.  That is what we need to do to get our American dream, nothing less. We have never really had it while we were being slow boiled like a frog with media propaganda.
