What kind of life would that be?

I've asked several times, on this forum, for a definition of freedom or if we truly have it. The only answer I ever got was the half joking answer: "freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose". I also asked about democracy. Well, we have neither. They are myths. Our freedom is limited to the amount of personal purchasing power we may have and democracy is impossible in a system with such monetary differential as ours, for money IS power.
Jefferson's idea that "all men are created equal" is also a myth in a free market monetary system. What the heck was Jefferson thinking? Was he naive, was he just getting in the face of the King of England or was he just being overly optimistic to that proposition. He had to have known that money or the lack of it would strongly influence how "equal" a person was.
