Body weight is controllable, but is not the same thing as obesity, but scientific evidence does not suggest obesity is voluntary, but I'm not trying to talk about obesity. I was just merely using it as a proxy for societal health, because I hope you can agree that obesity is not healthy.

> The government is the primary institution that provides education

I thought there was a large section of free market libertarians that want to get rid of public schooling?

>I don't see how that is a result of economic freedom.

Again, i was using it as a proxy for safety, not economic freedom.

> The US was much more economically free in the 1800s than now

The middle class became the dominant class post-WWII. wtf are you talking about?

If I have one million people pay me $1000, I am creating value, but I not 'creating wealth' I would literally be consolidating the wealth of one million people into my bank account.

Owning desirable assets could be considered 'creating wealth' due to the price of those assets going up, but owning assets is not creating products and services that other people want.

I will go back to my original point, that economic freedom is not a panacea and does not solve for health, education, and safety, but rather creating things that people want to seperate them from their money. Health, education, and safety are all more effective when provided by the government.
