Seems to me the meaning of "freedom" is relative. I would call the USA a free country, because our people are free to move about with very little restriction, we can badmouth the government and say pretty much anything we want, as long as it doesn't do measurable harm to someone else (heck, even then we might get away with it). We are free to find a do pretty much any type of work we can. We can buy almost anything we want as long as we can afford it. If we can manage to click things into place we can become rich (then, if we play our cards wrong then right, we can lose it and then get it back again). We can love pretty much who we want, and we can live with pretty much who we want.
There are some "freedoms" we don't have, some good, some bad. I like that I'm not free to murder others, abuse children, steal things, etc. I don't agree that homosexual people shouldn't be allowed to marry, or that men don't have more say in aborting a child. I feel the government has too much influence in how businesses are run, and I feel some taxes are against the spirit of our system.
Overall, this is "freedom" from my perspective. Just about anyone else you ask will have a more or less different idea of what the word means, I would think.
