Ok, lets play.
1. The career you work in is controlled largely by government regulation, and being sapped of most of it's wealth by taxes. It could be much better.
2. The clothes you wear are produced by another industry crippled by government, you could have a much better selection.
3. You could be retired by now if you had the money taken by taxes sitting in the bank.
4. You can read and listen to what you want, but the food you eat is tightly regulated for content in the name of health, and contains many unhealthy chemicals and unnatural protein strands. (look up GMO for one.)
5. You learn everything you want through a filter approved by the government. We are not as bad as other countries yet, but it is coming. Your financial viability is very limited due to less return for higher income due to taxes.
6. The days could be much shorter if you were not paying as much tax.
7. You can do what you want, as long as you have the proper license and paid the correct fee. Things like fishing, hunting, driving, adding a deck to your house, using gas, buying food, or buying any object related to your outing must be properly paid for in taxes, fees, permits, and licenses
8. You don't need to have personal debt, the government has graciously provided one for you. Your share is $53,000 and counting.
9. You seemed to be in very high spirits, even though you have no rights, you own nothing, and can't see the truth before your eyes, because they hide it just well enough that if you don't look, you don't see.
