America is my home, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. But this is clearly not a free country. Sure, we're better off than lots of others, but the government that claims authority over Americans still steals huge portions of income from us, spies on us, lies to us and mercilessly propagandizes us. It routinely breaks down the front doors of peaceful homes, and locks more people in cages than any country on earth. It also kills lots and lots of people, but we're largely spared from that here at home (although there is an alarming level of police violence against Americans).
Anyway, it's a beautiful place with lots of great people and a pretty high standard of living and stuff like that. But it's not a free country. Let's not be silly.
