It's bad enough having to work, work, work to eke out a living. But imagine having to fight government bureaucrats for the right to work -- for the right to actually make money to provide for self and family and live independently. Well, think back to the COVID years and that's exactly what so many Americans had to do. They were ordered to stay home, stay off the streets, stay out of work and wait for the stimulus money. But just because COVID's gone doesn't mean Big Government isn't trying to dictate how and whether people can work. Melony Armstrong wanted to keep open her hair braiding business in Mississippi. Government tried to tell her she couldn't, unless she abided by certain ridiculous and costly mandates of the State Board of Cosmetology. So Melony turned to a legal group, the Institute for Justice, to sue. And seven or so years of legal fighting later -- she won. Now imagine that happening to you. Is this America, land of the free? Or not?
