"[P]rogressivism is a top-down, continent-wide tissue of taxes, mandates, and other coercions."

In many respects, the United States is the freest country in the world. I don't just mean in terms of limits on state coercion, though that's true too, but also in terms of individual relations. The United States comes closer to classlessness in terms of interpersonal relations than virtually any society.
