Ben, what you are ignoring is that society is interdependent. Your "truly free" success stories, those who have "made it", stood on the accomplishments of others, and took others' accomplishments to the next level.

Yes they were bright, took initiative and deserve to benefit from their own ingenuity, but do not ignore the fact they use all that their society (in your cased the USA) built for them, and which was built and paid for by the taxes paid by everyone before them.
