Freedom is the guns they dangle in front of their faces like carrots

The only way to actually get freedom is to aim at the owner class.

It pays for my Healthcare just like the flag on the moon does.

Please don't bring NASA into this, the space program benefitted the lives of basically everyone on earth in incredible incalculable and calculable ways, from contributing to the peaceful collapse of the Soviet Union to countless technologies developed for it and as a result of it, to the birth of the environmental movement and a massive influx in people going into STEM. The US space program has probably done more for your health than socialized medicine would.

All of which is not to say that America is doing great and it shouldn't have socialized healthcare, but simply to say, keep our Apollo's name out of your mouth.
