About This Quote

The American people are free to do exactly what they are told. This phrase is often used in response to someone who complains about an authoritarian government. The implication of this quote is that the American people of the U.S.A. are free to do whatever they please.

The truth, however, is that the average American citizen follows the rules and regulations of their government without much complaint. They don’t get away with anything. But, they also don’t have any real freedom at all.
