The flavor of freedom the US embodies is the freedom to crash and burn. I'd prefer the freedom to flourish, even if that means limiting the freedom to prey upon the vulnerable and desperate.

It's a very classic "freedom to" versus "freedom from" dichotomy. You and I would rather have more "freedom from," even if it limits our "freedom to." The US system as a whole tends to tilt the other way, however.
