“They say that America is the freest country in the world, and I would answer, “Yes, probably so.” You have the freedom in America to be unemployed, to have fear of not having enough to eat. Nobody has this fear under socialism. There is no unemployment in socialism. You can have that special freedom in the United States, like my father, for example, who worked his whole life. Yet when he writes in a letter that he has had a toothache for a year but hasn't gone to the dentist because it costs so much money—that’s unbelievable! I tell that to my friends in the socialist countries, and they say, “Come on, you must be exaggerating,” because all medical facilities are free of charge. There are a lot of different types of freedom, and so I would say that I feel I am in a free society under socialism.” — Dean Reed
